New LEED Gold Building & Case Study
Responding to enormous recent growth—from 32,000
residents in 1989 to 79,000 today—the city of
Hillsboro embarked on a consolidation of city offices
focused on continued future growth. Knowing sustainability
is a vital part of the future, Hillsboro leaders chose
Specht Development, LRS Architects and Interface Engineering
to create a LEED-certified 168,000 SF building—more
than twice the size of their previous quarters. Aiming
for LEED Silver, we surpassed our goal with a certificate
of Gold.
