The SyracuseCoE headquarters was designed to meet the highest level of LEED standards. LEED uses a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. LEED certification is recognized at the certified, silver, gold and platinum levels. For more information, click here.
