Welsh College is a place where some of the future business leaders of tomorrow come to learn about innovation and business, so it's a relief to see that it has placed such a high priority on sustainable practices itself.

After undergoing a rigorous greenofit, the Welsh College campus has received an LEED gold certification. To achieve this coveted recognition, the building made use of on-site rainwater recycling, high-efficiency lighting and an innovative "thermal envelope" that allows the building's interior to help regulate temperature. The result is a thoroughly modern space fit for the future.
