Central Carolina Community College’s Siler City Center has been certified ‘Gold’ by the U.S. Green Building Council. The council has announced that the facility, completed in fall 2010, has met all the design, siting, and material requirements to be certified at the Gold Level of the USGBC’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. The 23,800-square-foot, two-story building was funded by Chatham County, designed by Taylor Hobbs, of Hobbs Architects, PA, Pittsboro, and built by Monteith Construction, of Wilmington. It opened in fall 2010. LEED is the USGBC’s standard for sustainable design and construction. Buildings can be awarded the Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum levels, with each succeeding level having more stringent criteria. LEED-certified buildings are designed to lower operating costs, reduce waste sent to landfills, conserve energy and water, be healthier and safer, and reduce greenhouse gas.
