South Cove Activity Center Rated Gold

Today we were notified by the U.S. Green Building Council that they have awarded the South Cove Activity Center with a GOLD LEEDs certification. During the South Cove project approval process, the Community through the Council and the Board of Directors, set an objective for the project to be LEEDs silver certified. The award of GOLD, is a major accomplishment by the Community, and the design and construction teams, and further demonstrates Eastman's commitment to environmental stewardship.

On July 1, we will receive the plaque to be proudly displayed an South Cove and certificates from the U.S. Green Building Council in a ceremony that will be held at South Cove. Please save that date, watch for details and join the celebration.

LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.

Warmest regards,
