A brief description of the green building rating system(s) used and/or a list of certified buildings and ratings:

Schrott Center (LEED gold renovation): 38,171 GSF
Hinkle Fieldhouse (LEED gold renovation): 19,828 GSF
Athletic Annex (LEED silver): 5,437 GSF

Parking garage: 418,913 GSF total (parking space = 402,827 GSF and mixed use space = 16,086 GSF)
NOTE: the 402,827 GSF of parking space in the mixed-use parking garage is not reported in the total floor area because it is not enclosed building space, making it ineligible for LEED certification of any kind. The mixed use space is leased out to businesses and therefore not operated by Butler.
