A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contribute to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:
On the Higher Education Center project, the joint owners, SOU and Rogue Community College, wanted to achieve the highest level of LEED certification possible. Early in the design process, SOU and RCC approved adding a LEED consultant, Brightworks, to the design team (SERA Architects with InSite Group). Brightworks provided input to the design process and provided training to the subcontractors on the documentation necessary for the LEED process. Adroit Construction, the Construction Manager/General Contractor for the project, had a member of its project management team become a LEED Accredited Professional to manage the LEED process for their company. Approximately 95% of the demolition and construction waste was diverted from landfills, and the Higher Education Center achieved LEED Platinum Certification.
