A brief description of the green building rating system(s) used and/or a list of certified buildings and ratings:
The Pacific University Library in Forest Grove, built in 2005, was the first LEED-certified building on any of Pacific’s campuses.
Berglund Hall, Burlingham Hall, and Gilbert Hall in Forest Grove, and Creighton Hall and Building 2 in Hillsboro went on to earn LEED-gold certification.
LEED-certified buildings now represent 41 percent of the university’s total floor area. Work is underway to reduce energy consumption in existing buildings that are yet to be LEED certified, with a goal of bringing those buildings to LEED energy standards and beyond.
