WMU achieves Gold 'green' status
May 29, 2009
KALAMAZOO--Western Michigan University's College of Health and Human Services is the first building in Southwest Michigan and one of only three in the state to meet national energy and environmental standards for an existing building.
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Existing Buildings, or LEED-EB, rating system puts it among one of the highest performing buildings in Michigan. The WMU building achieved gold-level certification from the U.S. Green Building Council making it the first LEED-EB certified higher education building in the country to achieve a rating higher than silver. It is also the highest certified level for any LEED-certified building in Kalamazoo.
"We are delighted to have this national recognition for a facility we regard as a special building in its own right and a symbol of the commitment this campus has to sustainability," says WMU President John M. Dunn. "Our facilities management area is on the cutting edge when it comes to wise energy use and sound environmental management. This is a well-deserved recognition for those who planned and built this amazing facility, for those who manage its daily use, and for those who guided it through the certification process." (more)
