The Applied Research and Development Building (ARD) showcases the latest innovations in high-performance construction technology, energy-efficient design, and use of renewable energy.
It earned 60 points out of a possible 69 to meet the highest rating—Platinum—from the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) system. At the time it was built it was the greenest building in Arizona and had the third-highest LEED point total in the world.
