The new Academic Support Center (Building R) at Kendall Campus, which opened its doors last January, received a LEED Green Building Certification of Gold.

LEED is a certification program that recognizes buildings for its design, construction, high green performance, and it verifies that the building is operating exactly the way it was constructed to.

Based on a point system, buildings earn points for satisfying specific green building criteria.

This isn’t the first time Building R has being recognized for its excellent construction. In August the building was recognized by The Florida Association of the American Institute of Architects.
