# Refurbished Factory Offices New Lance Armstrong Foundation Headquarters Earns LEEDs Gold By Jordan M | Published 2011-01-26 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lance-armstrong-foundation-headquarters References: [archdaily](http://www.archdaily.com/105042/lance-armstrong-foundation-headquarters-lakeflato-architects-and-the-bommarito-group/) & [livestrong.org](http://www.livestrong.org/) This brand new Lance Armstrong Foundation headquarters is a thoroughly modern but also surprisingly resourceful renovation success story. After operating out of a simple [office building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stroud-green-housing-centre) for several years, the charitable organization turned an [old paper warehouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tengbom) into a cutting-edge space with a tremendous focus on [sustainable business practices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emit-technologies). Everything from reusing materials that were already present in the workshop to an office program that encourages bike commuting contributed to this building's solid eco-credentials. As a reward for their eco-efforts, the finished space netted the Lance Armstrong Foundation headquarters a coveted LEED gold certification. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sustainable Renovation:** There is a trend towards renovating old buildings to create eco-friendly office spaces that focus on sustainable business practices. - **Encouraging Alternative Transportation:** There is a trend towards encouraging alternative transportation methods in the workplace, such as bike commuting, to reduce carbon emissions. - **LEED Certification:** There is a trend towards seeking LEED certification for eco-friendly buildings as a way to demonstrate a commitment to sustainability. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Construction:** The construction industry can capitalize on the trend towards renovating old buildings to create eco-friendly office spaces that focus on sustainable business practices. - **Transportation:** The transportation industry can capitalize on the trend towards encouraging alternative transportation methods in the workplace, such as bike commuting, to reduce carbon emissions. - **Green Building Certification:** The industry that provides LEED certification can capitalize on the trend towards seeking this certification for eco-friendly buildings as a way to demonstrate a commitment to sustainability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adaptive Workspace Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-hq.md) - [Cross-Laminated Timber Renovated Warehouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/843-n-spring-street.md) - [Industrial Building Headquarters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eames-institute-of-infinite-curiosity.md) - [Timber-Centric Non-Profit Headquarters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cleveland-foundation.md) - [Natural Material-Focused Headquarters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/escritrio-da-engenharia.md) - [Compact Civic Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stroud-green-housing-centre.md) - [Repurposed Factory Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tengbom.md) - [Transformed Research Facilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zgf-architects.md) - [Pier-Side Dynamic Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-hq.md)
