Optional Fields
For Carleton's Weitz Center project (completed Sept 2011) the contractor tracked waste for LEED requirements. For that project, total Waste (2010-2011) was 7136.40 tons of which 6592.89 tons were recycled/re-used ( 92% )
Calendar year 2011 Waste for the Weitz Center project was 640.37 tons of which 558.46 tons were recycled/re-used (87%)
The large amount of demolition (1954 classroom wing and 1934 auditorium balcony) occurred in 2010 and boosted the overall material recycling.
2017-2018 included the demolition of Mudd Hall and beginning construction of a new science building. This is reflected in the large amount of recycled C&D that increased from 980 tons to 7,485.32 tons of material. The project is tracking to be a LEED Platinum building.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
For non-LEED projects, we do not currently have data on construction and demolition materials that have been recycled, donated or otherwise recovered. The last two major campus construction projects (Weitz Center 2011 and Cassat and James Halls 2009) were or are about to be all LEED gold certified, which requires a certain percentage of construction waste to be recycled, donated or otherwise recovered.
