From the American Institute of Architects:
The Stanley Center for Peace and Security, rooted in Muscatine, Iowa—a Mississippi River town of 23,000—is a catalyst for global change, addressing climate action, mass violence prevention, and nuclear disarmament through innovative policy and collaboration. Its headquarters, a net-carbon-negative renovation guided by the Living Building Challenge, exemplifies its commitment to regenerative design and sustainability. This transformative project supported the regional economy, educated tradespeople, and created supply chain ripple effects, driving local, national, and global conversations about climate action. Now a vibrant community hub, it empowers this 69-year-old organization to inspire equitable solutions and foster a resilient, peaceful future.
