A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
Construction at UCLA has incorporated sustainable features for many years, planning buildings to enjoy the benefits of Southern California's climate. In 2003, this became more formalized, when UCLA developed campus green building guidelines modeled on LEED and Labs21. Documentation and credit requirements were nearly identical, but adapted to reflect Campus circumstances. Review and validation of compliance was by UCLA Campus Building Officials and the Office of the Campus Architect. Since 2009, the UC policy has required all eligible new construction to achieve LEED certification at the Silver Level, certified through the USGBC and GBCI.
