Optional Fields
As set forth in the Strategic Plan for Sustainable Operations, Washington University has committed to achieving standards in new construction and major renovations equivalent to, or exceeding, LEED Silver. As such, all vendors working on these projects are required to track, and responsibly dispose of, construction and demolition waste per the LEED certification level for which the project is striving.
At present, however, we do not have the contractual infrastructure in place to track construction and demolition waste outside of projects on our campuses that are pursuing, or have achieved, LEED certification. LEED projects represent all major construction and demolition at WashU (projects exceeding $2.0M in scope), and thus are a good approximation, but are by no means a comprehensive representation. The challenge of implementing a comprehensive tracking system within this area is currently being explored.
