LEED: Water Efficiency

Since joining Mackey Mitchell Architects Stacey has been an advocate for sustainable design both within the firm and the greater community. Most notably, she was appointed to the City of St. Louis’ Vanguard Cabinet, as an advisor to the Mayor’s office on green building and sustainable initiatives throughout the city. Stacey is a frequent guest lecturer at local colleges, speaking on sustainability and the LEED rating system. After working on the Maryland School for the Deaf’s new elementary school building, she became increasingly interested in the positive correlation of sustainable building techniques and special needs populations. In 2009, Stacey lectured across the country on those very topics. Stacey is a LEED Accredited Professional. Her work experience on LEED projects includes the Wohl Phase 2 Residence Hall at Washington University (LEED Gold), Student Success Center at Southern Illinois University (LEED Certified), Bick-I Building (LEED Gold), Station #4 for the Monarch Fire Protection District (LEED Certified), and LEED prototype designs of retail facilities for two major national retail chains. Stacey also worked with a team of professionals on a brownfields revitalization, the first proposed LEED ND project in the state of Illinois, that received national recognition from the Illinois EPA. Her ‘GRoW Home’ design for sustainable, affordable housing won an AIA St. Louis Design Award and first place in the U.S. Green Building Council’s Natural Talent Design Competition.
