GREEN BUILDINGS
Overview of Green Certification & Sustainable Building Design


The renovation of Barney Memorial Hall (Built in 1894) restored the historic character of the building and now houses the McPhail Center for Environmental Studies and the English Department. The Barney renovation project produced a statement building: a place where environmental principles are upheld and demonstrated to the community - more examples of green building


GREEN CERTIFICATION - The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System™ is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings.
