Optional Fields
Colgate specifies in all general and subcontractor contracts that renovation and building debris must be removed and properly recycled or disposed of in accordance with all federal and New York State laws. Beyond that, however, all new buildings and major renovations at Colgate adhere to at least LEED Silver standards as specified in Colgate's Green Building Standards (est in 2015). However, all buildings constructed since the University's Green Building Standards have received LEED Gold rating or higher.
Also in 2019, Colgate constructed two new residence halls (Burke Hall and Pinchin Hall). The project received LEED Gold certification and diverted 79.87% of construction waste from the landfill (total waste = 2,437.88 tons; total diverted = 1,947.15 tons).
