Clyde High School Project Achieves LEED Silver Certification

Clyde High School is now the first LEED Silver high school in the State of Ohio. Bostleman was the construction manager for this 153,294 sf renovations/additions project at the high school which is part of the Clyde-Green Springs EVSD District-Wide Construction Program.

Sustainable features of the project included construction waste management, light pollution reduction, the use of products with recycled materials, daylight sensors, chilled beam systems, heat island effect: roof, and outdoor air delivery monitoring among several others. Numerous cosmetic upgrades were made along with a much needed parking lot expansion. In addition, the high school now boasts major technology upgrades such as, sound-proofed classrooms, a state-of-the-art security system, and district-wide network system. A new auxiliary gym, expanded kitchen, cafeteria with new equipment, and guidance offices are some of the newest additions to Clyde High School.

Also part of the Clyde-Green Springs EVSD District-Wide Construction Program, Clyde Elementary School, Green Springs Elementary, and McPherson Middle School are pursuing LEED Gold Certification.

LEED is a third-party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

University of Toledo Savage Arena Project Earns LEED Gold Certification

The $30 Million renovation and expansion on the campus of the University of Toledo made its debut in November 2008 featuring state-of-the-art amenities and green sustainable building features. Now, in 2011, the newly renovated home of the UT Rockets has achieved LEED Gold Certification through the U.S. Green Building Council. As the construction consultant, Bostleman provided construction management services on the project.

The renovation and expansion project showcases a new basketball court, new video scoreboard and sound system, bowl-style seating accommodating 7,300 fans, new lighting, corporate suites, loges, club seating, new concession stands, and a glass-enclosed lounge with seating for 200 guests. These amenities, in addition to new locker rooms, team rooms and an athletic training room make Savage Arena one of the premier athletic facilities in the Midwest. Heat island effect roof, light pollution reduction, primary HVAC system with VAV reheat, hydronic heat loop under the basketball court, and a steam generating facility within the building to support the entire campus are just some of the green sustainable items incorporated into the project leading up to the LEED Gold Certification.
