Highlights

Going Green

All Washington state-funded buildings are required to achieve at least a silver certification from Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), which provides a framework for healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green buildings. Some LEED features in the Health Sciences Building include:

  • A specially designed roof features a 9,500-square-foot solar array comprised of three sections.
  • A highly sophisticated direct digital control (DDC) environmental management system has internal heat pumps capable of transferring energy around the building.
  • A “waste heat recovery jacket” was installed on the exhaust stack at the central heating plant to provide heat for the building. This will allow the facility to be heated with energy that would otherwise be wasted.
  • Interior daylight controls limit energy consumption.
  • Interior lighting created by light emitting diodes (LED).
  • Limited number of parking spots encourage non-motorized transportation, which also promotes exercise.
  • A high percentage of materials were recycled from Hertz Hall, which was demolished to create the site.
  • Building features a variety of sustainable, recycled, and low-emission materials.
  • 13 vehicle charging stations in the parking lot encourage use of electric vehicles.
