From St. Louis CNR: The East Academic Building for Webster University has received LEED Gold Certification. This building was completed in January of 2012 and was the first new classroom building on the University’s St. Louis campus since 1984.

It was designed to achieve LEED Silver certification, however through innovative practices and excellent documentation of the qualifying building materials the team was able to apply for and receive Gold certification. This accomplishment is a very rare achievement that puts this project in the upper echelon of green buildings. According to the US Green Building Council website, there are only 12 Gold Certified buildings in the state of Missouri. Read more.
