The University that I currently attend, George Washington, is now adding its name to the long list of schools that are building their campuses green. The GW Hatchet reported that the universities development plans for a new dormitory and a large project called Square 54 which will be primarily condominiums, restaurants, and a large supermarket are intending to gain LEED certification from the US Green Building Council. The zoning is still an issue, as community groups in what used to be a quaint part of Washington, DC are now appealing all new development projects by GW in response to unfettered growth over the past decade. However, it is my opinion that the likelihood of these new plans to build to LEED specifications will go through before the 35 day appeals period is over.
Read the full hatchet article here, and I plan to personally follow this story myself.
