On November 20th, 2014, the CHUM Research Center received a LEED GOLD-NC Certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for New Construction). LEED GOLD is the highest distinction awarded to ecological buildings and it is also a mark of excellence recognized world wide.
It should be mentioned, that the certification process, initiated in 2010, was to obtain a LEED Silver Certification. But thanks to hard work and commitment sustained for four years by the design team, the construction contractors and the LEED Coordinator, the project achieved the GOLD Certification. Such a result, that exceeds all expectation, is a true sign of sustained and continuous commitment of the entire team.
