A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
Recent new construction buildings have been LEED certified. Buildings that are currently in the early planning stages are expected to be LEED certified. In June 2011, the Board of Trustees approved green building guidelines that are provided to all building committees and project managers. A staff member from the Zilkha Center sits on every building committee to ensure sustainability is considered from the beginning.
