Lauren leads sustainability for Facebook Facilities where she directs green building initiatives in the Bay Area and oversees design of Facebook’s new landscapes. Lauren recently initiated and oversaw the approval process for Facebook’s recycled blackwater project, the largest district scale system in commercial buildings in the U.S. The system will save over 16m gallons annually in two buildings designed by internationally acclaimed architect Frank Gehry. Since joining Facebook in 2010, she’s been partnering with local and regional environmental nonprofits to help protect and restore the natural environment, including the wetlands and endangered species adjacent to Facebook’s headquarters.
