Enjoy a building built with the earth in mind. New green technologies were designed into the building helping reduce the amount of waste from construction and reduce consumption of products and energy. Although the building is not LEED certified, the building was constructed to follow similar standards. These standards include energy savings, water efficiency, carbon dioxide emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
