The renovated historic Miller Hall at Western Washington University has been awarded gold LEED status by the U.S. Green Building Council.
The $51.5 million renovation project, funded by the state Legislature, incorporated a number of sustainable features, including a “green roof” over a new student study space built in the building’s existing courtyard. The roof is made of a mat system of sedum plants, which require little maintenance. The university said the roof will save on heating and cooling costs, provide better sound insulation and reduce stormwater runoff.
