The Campus Common
A large, landscaped open space incorporates significant greenery to create a tranquil and vibrant ambience. It serves as an informal, outdoor assembly space and focal point for bringing people together to exchange ideas and make new friendships.
At Ease with Being Green
Constructed to maximize natural light, open spaces and sinuous curves, our main building is as easy on your eye as it is on the environment. Four levels feature green roofs visible from higher floors. Interiors are outfitted with low-emitting, sustainable materials, and furnishings as well as low-mercury lighting and high-performance window glazing. Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood, salvaged and recycled materials and natural stone are used throughout.
Recognized for Sustainability
Our campus is designed and constructed to meet independent, third-party Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification recognizing the sustainability of our design, construction, operations and management.
