The new Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University has been awarded platinum certification for “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design” (LEED), the highest designation for environmentally friendly design and construction from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). The Institute is the first building in Arizona to receive the platinum award. The USGBC granted the certificate based on a stringent rating system that recognizes design and construction processes that minimize negative impact on the environment. The Institute is one of just 40 platinum LEED certified buildings in the U.S.
