The team is on track to achieve LEED
Platinum Certification and, if success-
ful, the building would be the third
university teaching or research build-
ing in Canada to achieve that level. Of
the 2,600 LEED-certified buildings
in Canada, less than 5 per cent are
recognized as LEED Platinum.
Most recently, the Amit Chakma
Engineering Building received the
Canada Green Building Council’s
(CaGBC) Excellence Award for New
Construction, which was announced
at the CaGBC Ontario Awards Night
gala in Toronto on November 1, 2018.
