South Hall earns gold
South Hall, completed in August 2010, has been awarded the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification. With solar panels on the roof to heat water and touch screens in the hallways for monitoring energy usage, the residence hall reflects the University’s commitment to sustainability across campus. The four-level, 67,000-square-foot building on the south side of campus houses 201 students.
“Wake Forest is extremely excited and proud to have received this award,” said Jim Alty, associate vice president for Facilities and Campus Services. “It recognizes our commitment to sustainable development in striving to build facilities that minimize harm to the environment, while also creating a comfortable indoor experience for the occupants.”
