The College of Law
The new University of Denver College of Law building is the nation’s first certified “green” law school. Consistent with its century-plus leadership in environmental and natural resources law and ethics, DU is “practicing what it preaches” – creating a state-of-the-art law center that is also visionary in terms of human health and environmental protection.
With the enthusiastic support of the Chancellor and Dean, the new COL is the first ever built to the exacting standards of the U.S. Green Building Council’s “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design” (LEED) green building certification system. LEED requirements include environmental architecture and design, sustainable site management, transportation alternatives, water conservation, energy efficiency, environmentally safe materials, recycling, indoor air quality control, and innovation in design.
