Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

We have a high level of confidence about new square footage added during this period. We are confident there is some missing data of smaller projects renovated square footage. Smaller building renovation projects square footage was not captured in our data management systems. Beginning in 2023 we are capturing this information and we will be able to include renovation square footage numbers going forward.

UO LEED certified buildings are tracked over time on the Sustainability dashboard: https://sustainability.uoregon.edu/buildings.html

All new and renovated buildings over 10k GSF must be certified LEED Gold per the Oregon Model of Sustainable Development (found in the Design Principle 10 document in this link):
