The U.S. Green Building Council awarded one of UNCG’s newest dorms with the LEED Silver certification, the News & Record reported. The residence hall, which is located at Spring Garden and Kenilworth streets, has several systems designed to reduce use of water, electricity and natural gas. As well, about a third of building materials were recycled, and roughly two-thirds came from local and regional sources.
Going with the “green” push, the UNCG School of Education was certified LEED Gold in 2012.
