A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
MSU Engineering and Architectural Services has 17 full time staff that are LEED accredited professionals and maintain MSU Construction Standards to include LEED design elements and criteria throughtout all the divisions. The MSU Construction Standards were revised in 2006 in conjunction with Professor Mrozowski of the School of Planning, Design and Construction in order to ensure LEED compliance with all new construction and major renovation. In addition a short checklist for minor renovations was developed to assist designers with compliance. Consultants that are hired are required to note any deviations from MSU Construction Standards and provide justification. Energy Impact statements have been a standard for the past 25 years and require the consultant to estimate the energy use of each new facility. MSU Construction Standards focus on sustainable building practices, along with the MSU Master Plan which can be found at https://prod.gis.msu.edu/construction/pdf/final_executive_summary.pdf (see pages 4-6 of Plan).
