Green Construction
The University is pursuing LEED certification on the new 50,000-seat TCF Bank Stadium. When open in 2009, the stadium will join a growing number of LEED certified buildings throughout the University of Minnesota system. The University will also pursue LEED certification on proposed Science Teaching and Student Services Building and on the new Bell Museum of Natural History. The University follows the State of Minnesota’s Sustainable Building Guidelines, which adapt
the LEED building policy to specific regional issues, resulting in the equivalent of a LEED Silver rating. The University’s Sustainability and Energy Efficiency Policy requires sustainable design guidelines to be applied to all major new construction and renovation projects. |
