The Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems, established in 1975, is a non-profit education, research, and demonstration organization specializing in life cycle planning and design. We undertake projects based on their potential contribution to site, regional and global sustainability and human health, and actively pursue collaborations with associate organizations, businesses and professional firms.
Projects emphasize regional contexts as bases for responsible resource use relative to materials, energy, water, waste, food, and meaningful employment. Our expertise is accessible through green planning and design services, conference presentations, public lectures, and published papers.
We will be making changes to the CMPBS website in upcoming months, and would appreciate your feedback to guide the process. Please take a few moments to complete our web user survey.
Generous Art is hosting a studio sale, featuring the work of artist Emily Moores. 40% of the proceeds from the sale will benefit a non-profit of the buyers choice.
Join us for our regularly scheduled 'First Friday' open house. Our Co-Directors Gail Vittori and Pliny Fisk will lead the tour of our demonstration buildings and discuss the work of the Center.
