OHSU Center First Medical Facility to Achieve LEED Platinum
The U.S. Green Building Council has awarded Oregon Health & Science University’s Center for Health & Healing LEED platinum certification for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, the first medical and research facility anywhere to have achieved this distinction.
The center, located in the South Waterfront district, is one of only 30 buildings of all kinds in the country to have been awarded platinum certification and is the largest and most complex building in the country to have achieved it. The building garnered 55 points out of a possible 69 on the USBGC’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) scorecard, three more points than required for platinum.
