A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:

Since 2005 Arizona State University has mandated that all University owned and operated buildings will be at built to at least LEED Silver standard. Since that date the University has met or exceeded the mandate. This is managed by both the Capital Programs and University Architect's Office in Facilities Management and Development. In addition, the University has strengthened its commitment by drafting Sustainable Design Guidelines that go above and beyond our LEED commitment, clearly identifying areas we wish to maximize in order to build efficient, productive buildings appropriate for our region, climate and for their intended use.
