Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Colorado Senate Bill 51-07 states that all buildings that receive 25% of their funding from the state must pursue LEED Gold certification. Since that time, the campus has extended that goal to all new buildings and major renovations. http://www.leg.state.co.us/clics/clics2007a/csl.nsf/fsbillcont3/8EFE2CB5022F6CF687257251007C22D3?open=&file=051_enr.pdf

Square footage metrics were taken from the US Green Buildings Council website, referencing certifications for individual buildings.
