Gateway School Achieves LEED Silver Certification

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

The new facility for the Gateway School, an Upper West Side school that uses different methods for different learners, achieved LEED Silver certification last week.

The project sailed through the construction credit review at the US Green Building Council, which was a rare achievement in of itself.  Construction credits are the difficult-to-document assurances that the building has been constructed to exacting LEED standards.

We would like to thank Andrew Bartle Architects for their wonderful design and ideas, and the Gateway School for making ‘green’ a part of their mission.  Schools are quickly becoming one of the biggest proponents of the LEED system because of how easy it is to make the connection with responsible teaching and lesson plans and green building.  At the Gateway School, the building itself will act as a classroom, teaching valuable hands on lessons to a new generation.

From beginning to end, LEED certification can take many years, and even though CEC has been working on LEED projects for over five years, this is the first one that has achieved certification.  (We have four more imminently pending.)
