font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>UCO FORENSIC SCIENCE INSTITUTE FIRST HIGHER
ED BUILDING IN STATE TO RECEIVE LEED CERTIFICATION FOR 'GREEN' DESIGN AND
CONSTRUCTION <br>
<br>
Advancing its commitment to sustainable, green practices, the University of
Central Oklahoma received LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building
Council (USGBC) for its new Forensic Science Institute (FSI) building. It's the
first college or university building to receive the distinction in the state.<br>
<br>
LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a
building project meets the highest green building and performance measures. <br>
<br>
The university's Architectural and Engineering Services office worked closely
with Frankfurt Short Bruza (FSB) Architects and Timberlake Construction
throughout the design and construction process to meet the USGBC LEED
standards.<br>
<br>
"LEED certification takes a lot of extra planning and work, but it was
important to us here at Central because we are committed to sustainability
throughout the campus," said UCO President W. Roger Webb.<br>
<br>
"We were fortunate to have experienced partners like FSB and Timberlake,
who committed themselves to this process, too. The result is a facility we can
be proud of in so many ways for its function, design, and 'green'
properties."<br>
<br>
To achieve LEED certification, a building project must meet specific criteria
and benchmarks outlined in the application. <br>
<br>
For the FSI building, the USGBC cited areas such as construction waste
management, recycled content, use of regional and "low-emitting"
building materials and water use reduction in awarding the certification.<br>
<br>
Specifically, nearly 94-percent of on-site construction waste was diverted from
a landfill, more than 13-percent of the building materials were manufactured
using recycled materials and the building construction reduces water use by
36-percent. <br>
<br>
Additionally, just over 22-percent of the building materials used were
extracted, harvested, recovered or manufactured within 500 miles of the
project, and nearly 60-percent of the wood-based building materials used came
from Forest Stewardship Council certified forests.<br>
<br>
Other areas where the building received credit included access to alternative
transportation like bus routes, the presence of bicycle racks and providing
three preferred parking spaces for low-emitting fuel efficient vehicles.<br>
<br>
"This LEED certification illustrates how committed UCO is to
sustainability and green initiatives. UCO should be a model for other universities
across the nation. FSB is very proud to have designed UCO's first LEED
Certified facility," said FSB Principal Philip McNayr. <br>
<br>
Bryan Timberlake, president of Timberlake Construction, added, "We commend
UCO for their continued commitment to sustainable programs and practices on
their campus. Timberlake Construction is honored to have contributed to this
process on the new Forensic Science Institute." <br>
<br>
Students began attending class in the new 35,000 square-foot building in
January, which includes a 165-seat auditorium, four classrooms, an evidence
recovery training bay, office space for FSI faculty and the AT&T Digital
Evidence and Cyber-Security Laboratory.<br>
<br>
Located across the street from the new Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation
(OSBI) facility, the FSI shares resources with the OSBI as well as local and
federal law enforcement. This relationship will provide crime-fighting
resources for law enforcement and the educational experience for Central
students.<br>
<br>
Central strives for sustainability in many ways throughout the campus, and is
the only university in Oklahoma named a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Green Power Partner for its purchase of 100-percent wind power. <br>
<br>
Other efforts include on-site bio-diesel fuel production for select campus
vehicles using cooking oil from campus dining facilities, alternative
transportation like its Bum-a-Bike and car share programs, campus-wide
recycling and use of energy efficient equipment throughout campus facilities.<br>
