A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:
To further the Campus’ commitment to sustainable design, the University developed a campus-wide approach to sustainable building using LEED as a framework. MU held its first workshop to develop this approach to building facility sustainability in May of 2011. The resulting collection of strategies has become the content of the University’s Sustainable Design Guidelines (SDG). Campus Facilities continues to hold workshops with division directors semi-annually in order to review the effectiveness of current policies and update the SDG. The campus as a whole has one LEED certified buildings, and six projects in the process of certification.

None
A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
The University reviews the effectiveness of the SDG and sustainability policies semi-annually. Prior to design and construction, Campus Facilities provides a sustainability packet to consultants and contractors. This packet includes a copy of the SDG, a LEED tracker including standards satisfying the SDG, as well as template specifications and logs to report compliance. Consultants and contractors report compliance with these standards during all major phases of design and construction. The campus also has a full-time manager for sustainable design and construction, whose responsibility is to monitor and advance green building practices.
