A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
FIU is committed to build all new construction to a minimum of USGBC LEED Silver certification. The practice was adopted in 2007 when former President, Modesto Maidque signed the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment. All buildings funded and built thereafter have met this criteria. The only buildings that are excused from this practice are parking garages because they can not be LEED certified. Market Station, the newest parking garage on campus has some mixed use areas including offices, a food court, and classrooms. This was built to LEED certification but could not be certified. While FIU is committed to building to a minimum of LEED Silver, FIU strives to hit the higher levels. Currently FIU has one LEED Silver and one LEED Gold certified building; there are currently 4 buildings under construction that will hit LEED Silver or Gold certification.
