Fiserv Forum becomes second NBA arena to receive top sustainability certification
Fiserv Forum has been recognized as one of the nation's top environmentally sustainable venues. On May 30, the Milwaukee Bucks announced that Fiserv Forum has been awarded platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED. It is the second NBA arena to earn this distinction, joining Portland's Moda Center, and the first such venue in Wisconsin. The award comes after the Baird Center achieved gold certification earlier this year. The LEED award ranks buildings on a point-based system with certified being the lowest and platinum being the highest. This year, the building won based on four categories: water, waste, transportation and human experience. To win the award, Fiserv Forum tracked its performance in the four categories by using Arc, a software platform that monitors sustainability efforts, officials said at a May 30 press conference. Fiserv Forum, which received gold designation in 2022, improved water and waste by adding touchless faucets and implementing the Orca Food Digester to help reduce food waste. In addition, the building added Bublr Bikes and a Lyft station to encourage walking, biking and ridesharing. Fiserv Forum improved human experience by installing Kaiterra sensors, which monitor air quality inside buildings and workplaces. Dennis Williams, senior vice president and general manager of Fiserv Forum, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that sustainability has been a top priority since the arena opened its doors in 2018. At the May 30 press conference, Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson said the award is a symbol of the city's progress in sustainability. 'It's a city that's on the rise, and as we grow, we've got a responsibility to do it in a sustainable way and a way that is equitable and with a long-term impact in mind,' Johnson said during the May 30 announcement. With the new platinum certification, Williams said he wants to continue to make the building more sustainable the potential use of waste diversion. 'For us, we wanted to be good stewards of the community and make sure we're leaving the Earth the way we found it," Williams said. "If we can better the community around us (then) there's a lot of value in that."

Water leak closes Mukwonago Area School District
A water leak caused damage to Mukwonago Area School District network servers, leading officials to close schools for at least one day. A science lab sink at Mukwonago High School overflowed around 1:30 p.m. May 29, the district told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in an emailed statement. The issue was not noticed for almost an hour. The district's server room is located directly beneath the lab where water seeped through the science lab floor. The district said in a May 29 Facebook post the leak resulted in a total loss of its internet-based systems, including email, phones, HVAC, data and security. The district's IT department determined repairs would not finish in time for school to open safely May 30, though the district's 4K partner sites remained open that day. The district said it was confident it will have its systems functioning so classes can resume June 2. A district representative on May 30 did not immediately respond to the Journal Sentinel's questions, including an estimated cost of the damage and whether any instructional time will need to be made up. This story is developing and will update. Contact Alec Johnson at (262) 875-9469 or Follow him on Twitter at@AlecJohnson12.
