The University of Kentucky’s Davis Marksbury building, part of the UK College of Engineering’s “Digital Village,” was formally dedicated last month with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and public tour of the building. The building officially opened earlier this year, and was certified as a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold building in August by the U.S. Green Building Council, making it the first building at UK to receive a LEED certification. Named for College of Engineering alumnus and lead donor Davis Marksbury (pictured), the three-story, 45,014-s.f. building is now home to the UK Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments, as well as the departments of Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering.
