The new Research Office Complex at the JJ Pickle Research Campus in North Austin received LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
The newly constructed office is the first University of Texas System building to receive the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification.
"This distinction signifies the university's commitment to sustainability and marks our pledge to use green building practices in all construction and renovation projects," says Pat Clubb, vice president for employee and campus services.
The building used recycled rubber, reflective roofing and a number of other materials that provide healthier work environments.
The university was recognized for recycling or reusing more than 95 percent of its waste and excess materials.
"The university is dedicated to leading the way as sustainable builders and environmental stewards, and our facilities reflect this," says Clubb. "We hope many more university buildings earn LEED certification in the future."
