A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:
The guidelines are an excerpt from the draft green building policy, which has not been formally adopted by the University but is followed in most cases by Physical Plant. When Wesleyan signed the ACUPCC, it committed to building all buildings to LEED Silver or above. The date above reflects when the ACUPCC was signed, not when the green building policy was adopted.
None
