GREEN BUILDINGs

It seems like we have construction going on all the time, and we do! We are consistently improving our facilities for our students, staff, and faculty.

Hazel Miller Hall: LEED Gold Certification

Our new science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and nursing building, Hazel Miller Hall, earned Gold Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. Gold certification is the second highest rating in the four-level system. According to the U.S. Green Building Council, LEED is the most widely used green building rating system in the world.

Meadowdale Hall: LEED Silver Certification

Meadowdale Hall underwent a major renovation and opened to the campus in 2010. For more information, see the Sustainability Case Study documented by the DLR Group and the latest version of the LEED Checklist.

Triton Student Center in Brier Hall

The Triton Student Center opened in 2009. This building was constructed on existing grayfield (pavement), which helped keep soil, trees, and plants intact on campus. The building allows in natural daylight and has low-emitting materials, which promote healthy indoor air. For more information, see the Sustainability Case Study documented by the DLR Group.

Mukilteo Hall

Mukilteo Hall opened in 2008 and was our first project created through the lens of green building. The building features lots of natural daylight, a "cool roof," and use of local, regional, and recycled materials. For more information, see the Sustainability Case Study documented by the DLR Group.
