Green Building at Carleton

Cassat and Memorial Halls, constructed 2008-09, exemplify many of the principles of
sustainable design. The residence halls will receive LEED Gold certification when
completed.  Carleton College and LHB Architects went beyond the requirements of
LEED to take advantage of even more opportunities to increase the buildings'
environmental friendliness. 

This case study on Cassat and Memorial Halls seeks to answer the following questions:

1. How exactly will the residence halls earn LEED Gold Certification?

2. What are the building's green features? how do they work? where are they?
