A brief description of the green building rating system(s) used and/or a list or sample of certified buildings and ratings:
Aquinas College adopted a LEED Building policy for new building construction and major renovation projects in 2007. All construction projects must be LEED certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. This policy ensures that quality, environmentally considerate buildings and projects are undertaken on campus. LEED buildings encourage designers to integrate green features in the planning phase, instead of trying to retrofit the structure later to include them.
