CCU's Adkins Field House earns LEED gold award
Coastal Carolina University's Adkins Field House has earned Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. This is the first LEED project for the University.
LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the quantifiable metrics related to sustainability: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
Mark Avant, project manager in the Department of Facilities, Planning and Management, is the LEED accredited professional for the University.
The state-of-the-art building located in the end zone at Brooks Stadium is a 55,400-square-foot facility with a 13,170 square-foot weight room, football team locker room, laundry room, 37 offices, three meeting rooms, a conference room, the George F. "Buddy" Sasser Hall of Fame and a large multi-purpose room.
