For decades there have been explorations into alternative building projects in Bloomington and surrounding communities. Most were developed by those considered to be living alternative lifestyles. Today on a global and local scale alternative and green building has become a major focus. This year Indiana University announced a few green projects being implemented on the IU Bloomington Campus.

Raccoon Creek Community in Owen County has offered a number of permaculture workshops that included green architecture projects. The Center for Sustainable Living, an umbrella 501C3 has a few projects working on green building projects.
