Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Numbers are a sum of 5 years of data (FY18-FY22).

*Note* The Stadium was not included in the report numbers as it was built before FY18. It is still is waiting for its official LEED certification. Without being able to include it in the "built construction number" we had more certified buildings than built buildings and the program would not accept it.

All buildings that are included in the "designed and built in accordance with a multi-attribute green building code, policy, guideline, or rating system, but not certified/verified" section have been built to LEED standards and are just awaiting their official LEED certification.
