Although the building envelope had been established, the tenant improvement project found many opportunities remaining for sustainable design decisions.

Material suppliers themselves can be a part of the equation: transportation distance, business practices, etc… The design is intended to have a significant influence on health and healing by utilizing effective planning principles and suitable design practices. The design team promoted the use of the sustainable materials and building systems through “Best Practice” strategies.
