A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:

The University has a Green Building Policy indicating new construction projects and major renovations consisting of 8,000 or more square feet of conditioned, occupied space will pursue LEED certification. LEED Silver certification is the strongly preferred level and in no case will such projects achieve less than LEED Certified certification. New projects less than 8,000 square feet and minor renovations must follow the University’s Sustainability Design Standards at a minimum. The Standards do not cover all of the topics outlined in STARS.
