Professor Weitz, and his research group have been nominated for a Green Carpet Award in 2011 for their dedication to sustainable practices in the laboratory. 

The Weitz Laboratory project is a 4,071 square foot and expansion of existing research space to accommodate the merging of two smaller lab groups into one. The project boundary is limited to the east wing of the fifth floor of the McKay Building. The renovation is also an opportunity to reconfigure spaces to best meet programmatic requirements for the researchers, update finishes and furnishings, and increase the efficiency and quality of the fifth floor lighting, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning controls.
