A campus that remembers what it builds

One of the world’s greenest campuses, running material intelligence across its portfolio

01.

The Problem

Phipps holds every building to a red list standard, but the record of those decisions lived in separate spreadsheets owned by different people. A year or two later, no one could say which product went where, or why it was approved.

02.

In Material Hub

Now every selection runs through Material Hub as material intelligence: one record carrying its performance, sustainability, and cost data. The whole team works from that source, from Living Building flooring to everyday facilities orders, instead of their own copies.

03.

The Outcome

Phipps is backfilling data across the campus portfolio, so every building carries its own material history. The team applies what worked, and what didn’t to build better on the next project.

Sustainability record

  • Net zero energy and water campus
  • Red list standard on every product
  • 7 of the highest green certifications

What owners get

  • Standard enforced on every project
  • One record of approvals and installs
  • HPDs, EPDs, and VOC data per product

Let’s put it in the platform, so we know what has been where and what we’ve used."
