The $66 million renovation of Lincoln Hall will be a certified environmentally friendly project, state officials announced Thursday.
Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who included $55.1 million for Lincoln Hall in his capital budget request for 2008, issued a press release stating the project will be submitted for LEED gold certification. LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, certificates are given to building projects that meet certain standards for energy efficiency, water use efficiency, use of recycled and local materials, and other standards.
