A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
"No official green building policy has been passed to date although LEED-certified buildings have been constructed on campus including the McGill University Health Centre (Silver) and the Life Sciences Centre (Gold). Internally, the university has set a standard that all new construction is required to achieve LEED Silver certification. The university aims at also meeting the credits for LEED for Existing Building for all of its renovations. Seventy-five percent of McGill University’s construction standards have been revised to incorporate sustainable concepts, materials and construction practices (based on LEED certification among others). A waste management plan guides construction and renovation projects to achieve a 75% waste diversion rate.
In September 2011, the Design Services unit under Facilities Operations & Development released MAT (Material Analysis Tool), an online ranking system that distills manufacturer information to assist McGill’s staff and consultants in the selection of building products that are cost effective, healthy, and environmentally responsible.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The Life Science Complex was certified LEED Gold in December 2011, the only university-owned laboratory building in Quebec to achieve the LEED Gold rating.
While the University pursues the implementation of sustainable construction and renovation practices, we currently do not have any data collection system whereby we can respond to the questions posed herein. This would therefore be an opportunity for improvement for future iterations of STARS.
