The Borders bookstore in the East Liberty neighborhood of Pittsburgh has been awarded the LEED Core Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. This project is one of the first LEED Gold certified projects in Pittsburgh and also among the first LEED Core certified projects in the country!
The Design Alliance Architects developed a number of green features in the project including:
- Rainwater from the building roof is piped to an underground cistern that eliminates the need for municipal water for irrigation.
- Nearly all of the construction waste was recycled.
- The development has strategically located bike racks around the site to encourage alternative transportation, and a shower room available to employees.
