The Chevron Annex, a recent addition built atop the Ashe auditoriums of the existing Chevron Science Center, provides additional space for the Department of Chemistry’s synthetic and analytical chemistry labs. This addition was designed to achieve a LEED gold rating. Green features of its construction include more than 95 percent recycled construction and demolition waste; low-flow plumbing fixtures; low-VOC paints, coatings, carpets, adhesives; high performance glazing and low-flow fume hoods; and bicycle racks and showers to promote alternative transportation.
LEED Gold certification, 2013.
