SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Upstate Medical University says the Nappi Wellness Institute has secured the second-highest national designation for green buildings.
The U.S. Green Building Council awarded the facility a LEED Gold designation, the health system announced Wednesday.
LEED, which is short for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the most widely used green–building rating system in the world. Nappi earned 64 points to secure the Gold designation.
The institute earned a Gold certification last month by adhering to prerequisites and credits during design and construction. They address carbon, energy, water, waste, transportation, materials, health, and indoor environmental quality, Upstate Medical University said.
Projects go through a verification and review process and are then awarded points that correspond to a level of LEED certification.
The Nappi Wellness Institute, which opened June 2, is located at 725 E. Adams St., across from the Upstate Cancer Center. It’s a five-story, 209,615-square-foot building that is home to many of Upstate’s ambulatory services.
