Getting a LEED Gold certification for the use of sustainable green-building techniques is a hard enough thing to achieve that, when you can do it for a historic renovation project, you're in pretty exclusive company. Boston's First Church of Christ, Scientist. A 1905 structure at President Lincoln's Cottage in Washington, DC. The Council on Foreign Relations HQ in the capitol... to name a few prominent examples.

While it's hard to win the certification for a single project, it's even rarer to garner the certification for a multi-building campus to get that certification across it's entire expanse.
