SUSTAINABILITY
The Rubenstein Atrium
at Lincoln Center
Living plant walls, a fountain which helps cool and clean the air, skylights which provide natural daylighting, low-flow plumbing, access to public transportation and advanced HVAC controls allowed the Atrium to receive a LEED Gold Certification from the US Green Building Council.
Lincoln Center
for the Performing Arts
Although not receiving official LEED Certification, Lincoln Center’s Redevelopment Project took advantage of several green features. A roof lawn insulates the restaurant space below it while providing a publicly accessible green space. The Central Plant which provides chilled water for cooling and steam for heat was upgraded to significantly improve its efficiency, reduce energy costs, and reduce the campuses carbon footprint.
Columbia Manhattanville
Columbia Manhattanville was the first campus to earn a LEED Platinum Certification for Neighborhood Design from the US Green Building Council.
The Forum, Lenfest Center for the Arts and Graduate School of Business are all anticipating a LEED Gold Certification.
