Former St. Anthony's Hospital site gets unusual green designation
LEED-certified buildings, or those that have met certain requirements for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design set out by the U.S. Green Building Council, are becoming increasingly commonplace in metro Denver, but one neighborhood recently received a less common — and lesser-known — designation from the USGBC.
The former St. Anthony’s Hospital site in west Denver that has been redeveloped into a mix of building types has received LEED certification under the LEED Neighborhood Design standard, which was established to encourage in master-planned communities the same kinds of energy- and environment-friendly standards found in LEED-certified buildings.
