"Green" Buildings Planned
The NMSU-A Campus is focusing on "going green" as it plans its new building projects. The new health sciences addition, which will be attached to the current Science Center, will be built for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver Certification, and the the upcoming Trades Center will be going for the same certification or higher. For more information on LEED Certification and their green building rating system, see their website: http://www.usgbc.org/LEED.
All NMSU campuses are also currently working on a "carbon footprint" inventory to determine where we need to go in the future to become "carbon neutral" as a University system. For more information, please see http://www.nmsu.edu/~energy.
