Planning Design & Construction is committed to the sustainability of the campus through the development of buildings utilizing the most sustainable design and construction practices. PDC embraces the practices of the CSUSM Sustainability Master Plan, California State University Energy and Sustainability Guidelines and The U.S. Green Building Council LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) and the California Green Building Code. LEED Silver has become a standard for the CSU System, but here at CSUSM, we make every attempt to make LEED Gold our standard for all new buildings.
Planning Design & Construction starts every project with sustainability in mind, and as part of the architect and contractor selection process, success in delivering LEED accredited projects is a requirement. To monitor and assist in the delivery of sustainable projects, PDC project managers are LEED certified.
While most projects are more different than they are similar, PDC has identified many sustainable design standards for our Campus buildings in the following LEED categories:
Sports Center (Field House Expansion) LEED Gold (Projected)
Student Health & Counseling LEED Gold - 2014
University Student Union LEED Gold - 2014
Public Safety Building LEED Gold - 2012
Social & Behavioral Sciences LEED Silver - 2012
