As the impact of global climate change is being felt and experienced by many different communities, our mandate to Do The Right Thing compels us to take more proactive, measurable steps during these unprecedented times.
As architects, planners, and designers, we are deeply committed to being part of the solution. We seek to be continuously informed by the latest sustainable design thinking and building innovations. We engage clients early in the design process to explore how sustainability principles can shape their projects, and collaborate with our design partners to apply these principles where they will have the greatest impact.
Marshall Craft is a signatory of the AIA 2030 Commitment, which sets targets to improve building energy efficiency, conserve natural resources, and reduce the carbon footprint of new buildings and renovations.
One way we put our commitment into practice is by developing and implementing this Sustainability Action Plan. This plan highlights our capabilities as an environmentally conscious design firm, incorporates several of our existing practices, such as GreenTalk™, and sets further sustainability goals.
Taking Action
Notable Firsts
Marshall Craft had always been at the forefront of sustainability design before becoming an AIA 2030 Commitment signatory by achieving several notable firsts:
With the renovation of Chincoteague Hall, Marshall Craft designed the first LEED Gold Certified renovation for the University of Maryland flagship campus at College Park.
Marshall Craft designed the first LEED Platinum Community College facility in the State of Maryland (and one of the first LEED Platinum Higher Education Facilities), with the Chesapeake College Health Professions and Athletics Center.
Marshall Craft designed Cecil College’s Engineering & Mathematics Building, the first LEED Gold Certified project on that campus.
Office Initiatives
Our sustainability committee organizes annual Earth Day events to connect team members to nature and community through positive action.
In 2025, both of our offices organized neighborhood clean-ups. Together, we collected 19 bags of trash from the Manchester neighborhood on the banks of the James River in Richmond and the wooded trails and tributaries of the Jones Falls stream that surround our Baltimore office in the historic Clipper Mill.
Previously, we partnered with Rock Rose Food Justice Farm to plant fruit trees destined to contribute to Rock Rose’s weekly produce giveaways to fight food injustice in Baltimore.
In an effort to reduce waste in our practice, we have donated hundreds of pounds of architectural samples and materials to SCRAP, supporting their mission to make creative reuse accessible to students, educators, and the public while diverting usable materials from the landfill.
