Tri-C Metro

Project Overview

Cuyahoga Community College’s Campus Center achieved LEED Gold Certification under the v3 BD+C rating system for a major renovation. The Campus Center project included renovating the original moated-style design from the 1960s, with an addition to yield what is now a large modern, inviting hub to the campus. The finished project includes a dynamic glass atrium, cafeteria, classrooms, offices, meeting spaces, café, and a bookstore. The building achieved its v3 LEED Gold Certification because of its focus on sustainable design, including efficient irrigation and plumbing fixtures, exceptional stormwater management practices, the use of recycled, regional and low-emitting materials, specialized indoor air quality features used, and the fact that nearly 100% of construction waste was diverted from landfills. Furthermore, because of its abundant access to public transportation, students and employees alike can ditch their cars and be dropped off at the front door!
