Sustainability

LEED Certified Buildings

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a building rating system created by the USGBC that is used internationally to classify buildings by their level of sustainability. In considering sustainability, their criteria looks at factors such as site location, water and energy efficiency, building materials, waste control, transportation, and more. LEED uses a holistic approach to assess buildings on a point based system. The levels of project certification from lowest to highest points are as follows: Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. 

LEED Certification badges in order of Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum

Using LEED's framework, residential projects,  new construction, and building additions, can reduce their energy consumption, conserve water, divert waste and lower CO₂ emission while saving money in the long run. W&M is committed to meeting LEED standards as part of their mission to become a more sustainable campus.

Currently, W&M has 17 LEED certified projects covering 867, 258 ft².
