The Sustainability, Energy and Environment Community (SEEC) is a hub for environmental and sustainability research, and the new SEEL building that opened in 2015 provides wet lab space to support those endeavors.
LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a globally recognized symbol of excellence in green building, with certification ensuring electricity cost savings, lower carbon emissions and healthy work environments. There are four levels of certification, with Platinum being the highest, followed by Gold, Silver and Certified.
