This 4-story, 205,000sf facility is one of the largest, and greenest, research facilities of its kind in the country. The facility achieved a LEED Silver rating from the USGBC in 2009 in recognition of its sustainable features.  The design focused on sustainability, creating collaborative working environments and flexible laboratory spaces, and innovative technology. Key sustainable features include low water use landscaping, low flow plumbing fixtures, reuse of laboratory rejection water, an efficient building envelope, and a variety of low-emitting, recycled, and regionally manufactured materials. The SET building is expected to use 32% less energy and 40% less water than a typical lab building while creating a healthy indoor environment.
