Optional Fields
As a public BC institution, TRU is mandated by the provincial government to construct all new campus buildings to the LEED Gold standard (or better). LEED requires very stringent conditions regarding what happens with construction and demolition waste and recycling and what percentage of the material is allowed to be landfilled. Construction contractors who work on TRU projects must abide by the LEED regulations and keep detailed records of all waste and recycling materials. The above figures pertain only to the new Trades building, the only major construction, renovation or demolition project on campus in the last three years.
