Monday, February 7, 2011 The fourth quarter of 2010 saw one New York and two Pennsylvania 7group projects earn LEED certification.
Westhampton Free Public Library attained LEED Gold (NCv2.2), becoming the first certified library in New York State. Located in Westhampton Beach, NY, this 14,250 sf library replaces the original 1906 structure, which was expanded five times and eventually deemed too small to meet the growing needs of the community. The building includes a 15 kW rooftop photovoltaic system, ground-source heat pumps, dual-flush toilets and low flow faucets, all of which are expected to contribute to significantly reduced energy and water consumption.

Wednesday, October 20, 2010 A number of 7group projects attained LEED certification during the third quarter of 2010.
In July 2010, West Chester University’s new 90,000 sf School of Music and Performing Arts Center (SOMPAC) located in West Chester, PA, achieved LEED Silver (NCv2). The project was designed and constructed as a larger and more sustainable performance center to replace the 1950s era Swope Hall, which lacked space and adequate acoustics. SOMPAC serves as a musical, theatrical and dance facility for West Chester University students, as well as the local and regional communities, and is gaining recognition as a major public performance venue for West Chester and the surrounding area.
