The University adopted a LEED Silver policy in 2008. Administrative Procedurals Manual (APM) 40.03 sets sustainable building standards by requiring “all new construction and major remodels shall be certified as meeting or exceeding a Silver LEED rating”. The College of Education, remodeled in 2016, and The Institutional Research and Innovation Center (IRIC), a 2017 new build, are both seeking LEED Gold certification.
