Mt. Holyoke College Designs "Green" Science Center

Published March 2002

BOSTON -

Mt. Holyoke College is designing its new science center and Blanchard Student Center renovation to comply with strict national green design standards. With both buildings certified to meet the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards, these sustainable design buildings are part of 53,000,000 sf of commercial, residential, retail and government space that has been built to U.S. Green Building Council standards since the LEED certification program began two years ago. A $10 million anonymous donation with the requirement that the new science center be LEED certified influenced Mt. Holyoke's design plans considerably.  Copyright 2009 Tradeline Inc.
