51�Թϱ��’ Green Building Team has news to shout from the rooftop of Plant and Environmental Sciences: “This building is a sustainability star!” — as declared by LEED and an international rating system known as BREEAM.

PES is the first 51�Թϱ�� building to receive a BREEAM certification, and it is the first such certification in the United States for an in-use academic building. On top of all that, PES received BREEAM’s first “excellent” rating in the United States in the category of “asset performance,” comprising waste, transport, pollution, materials and energy.
