October 29, 2015

WASHINGTON, DC, October 29, 2015 - The United States Green Building Council has awarded a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification to Covington’s CityCenterDC office space in Washington, D.C. CityCenterDC is the largest non-federal LEED Gold certified building for Interior Design and Construction in Washington, DC.

This prestigious designation is given to projects that implement practical and measurable strategies and solutions aimed at achieving high performance in sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

”We are honored to be recognized for the efforts we have made in our new space to improve the workplace quality while enhancing the efficiency of our space and lessening any negative impact on the environment,” said John Waters, Covington’s executive director. “This award is a reflection of our sustainable practices.”

Covington’s CityCenterDC offices include 450,000 square feet in two connected office towers and accommodate more than 1,100 Covington lawyers and staff. The office towers were designed by Foster + Partners and the interior design was created by LSM. The interior space reflects a cutting-edge and functional architectural approach.

The LEED rating system, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, is the foremost program for buildings, homes, and communities that are designed, constructed, maintained, and operated for improved environmental and human health performance.
