A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:

It is the policy of the University of Missouri to incorporate sustainability principles and concepts in the design of all facilities and infrastructure projects to the fullest extent possible, while being consistent with budget constraints, appropriate life cycle cost analysis, and customer priorities. This policy applies to renovation and new construction regardless of funding source or amount; to projects accomplished both in-house and through A/E contracts; and to design associated with all construction methods.

Environmental concepts that guide sustainably designed projects are:

—Sustainable Sites: Meet or exceed State of Missouri DNR best management practices for erosion and sedimentation control standards. Accommodate alternative transportation methods.

—Water Efficiency: Target water efficient landscaping, reduced water usage, and innovative stormwater management.

—Energy and Atmosphere: Encourage optimal energy performance, including appropriate levels of commissioning.

—Materials and Resources: Support construction waste management programs. Provide space for building — based recycling program. Encourage use of local and regionally–produced materials and building products made with recycled content.

—Indoor Environmental Quality: Pursue toxin–free indoor air through appropriate ventilation and use of building materials that emit low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

The University will not typically seek certification of projects through the USGBC Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) process. However, the design of University buildings should strive to achieve an equivalent LEED–certified level while supporting goals stated above. In special cases, specific projects may seek LEED certification if campus goals and budget align.
