A LEED Gold-Certified Science Facility
LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) is a green building certification system created by the U.S. Green Building Council. It recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices.
There are four levels of certification: Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Facilities earn credits in categories of Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Innovation in Design.
