The Wister Center has been an unfolding story for many years. This fall the Scott Arboretum is excited to open the doors to this new facility. Dan Russoniello, AIA, LEED AP and partner of Archer & Buchanan Architecture, Ltd., has been an integral part of this project from the beginning. Dan will illustrate the original concept of the Wister Center and how it has become an important symbol of sustainability and good citizenship for the Scott Arboretum. He will delve into the sustainable design strategies used and how they work towards achieving a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. Dan Russoniello is the Partner-in-Charge of Archer & Buchanan’s Institutional Projects Team. His experience, following an academic career distinguished by numerous awards, honors and fellowships, includes more than 25 years of professional practice at nationally recognized architectural firms based in Philadelphia. In addition to the new Wister Center for the Scott Arboretum, Dan’s current projects are the design, implementation and construction of Immaculata University’s new stadium and associated amenities and team structures, and expansion master planning for the Amelia S. Givin Library in Mt. Holly Springs, Pennsylvania.
