Sustainable Master Plan

Sustainable Campus Master Plan

EOR collaborated with Organic Valley Cooperative to develop and implement a Sustainable Campus Master Plan. This plan reflects the corporation's mission to promote sustainable family farms through organic agricultural practices and cooperative product sales. Organic Valley's emphasis on the triple bottom line of economics, ecology, and community is also translated into a Campus that integrates industrial buildings, services, and corporate offices into a sustainable, working landscape. The Campus Plan preserves and enhances natural habitats, uses native vegetation, considers the site's hydrology, and creates an active and healthy environment for employees and the community.
