Green Construction is geared to reduce the impact to the environment both during and after construction. Over 50 per cent of the building waste was actually recycled. The 23,000 square foot roof has been configured to reduce heat and storm runoff and is covered in vegetation. About ten percent of the new materials used in construction are recycled. Other programs in place reduce the amount of water and electricity used throughout the building and the building will soon be certified by the U.S. green Building Council as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental design building.
