Larissa McFall is dedicated to integrating environmental justice, community engagement, and social equity into sustainability and urban development. As a Senior Associate on the LEED Technical Development team at USGBC, she helps shape the future of sustainable design by advancing resilient and equitable strategies across the built environment in collaboration with diverse practitioners. Their work on LEED v5’s Human Impact Assessment reflects their commitment to bridging research, practice, and lived experience. Previously, as the 2022 LEED for Cities Equity Fellow, they supported local governments in embedding equity into sustainability planning and certification efforts. Her city-scale Equity Scan provided key insights into municipal equity strategies and was presented at USGBC Live and Greenbuild 2022.

Larissa holds a Bachelor of Architecture with a minor in Construction Management from Drexel University, where their work is grounded in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of culture, policy, and the built environment. She holds a certificate from MoMA’s Reimagining Blackness and Architecture program and has served as a Teaching Assistant for Drexel’s Social Equity in Communities course since 2022. Their senior capstone project, Black Space Reimagined: Reclaiming Resilience, explored sustainable design as a tool for cultural preservation and community-led public spaces and was featured in a 2023 Greenbuild panel on environmental justice.
