Better Business Challenge: McGuffey Art Center
We were assigned to be consultants for McGuffey Art Center, a local exhibition center in downtown Charlottesville. During the project’s two months we met with our business twice, which was the scope of the project at the start. At those meetings, and after researches, we developed a list of possible actions that could be implemented within their business. Eventually we achieved our goal of raising awareness of the importance of sustainable practices in McGuffey Art Center and the approaches that we proposed to them will hopefully be carried on during next semester. Our main focus was to make them recycle, reduce energy usage and to make them be a civic example for the whole Charlottesville Community.

The Charlottesville better business challenge is a competition that gives businesses the opportunity to adopt more sustainable practices within their daily operations. To participate businesses first have to go through the BetterBusinessChallenge scorecard to make clear how sustainable they are right now. As a second stage they have to decide which sustainable goals they want to achieve and find a way to do it.
