LMAL is a proud supporter of the LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) process. Several of our projects are pursuing or have been designed for LEED® certification: the North Cariboo Community Campus (LEED® Gold), the Steveston/London Secondary School (LEED® Gold), and the Native Youth Centre (LEED® Platinum). One of our recent commissions, the Gulf Islands Operations Centre (pictured right), has received LEED® Platinum certification - the first project in Canada to do so.
LMAL is currently working on two highly sustainable projects: the Centre for Shellfish Research is based on principles of LEED® Platinum, and the Environmental Learning Centre is being designed to a level of "Living Building" with zero net carbon consumption and zero net energy use.
Sustainable design principles are central to all LMAL projects. Our firm has considerable expertise in this field and in facilitating an integrated design process, which encourages meaningful participation by all members of the design team and ensures full coordination and integration of sustainable design strategies.
