Financial thoughts

Work done on the Edward A. Doisy Research Center at St. Louis University has been awarded LEED certification by the U.S. Green Building Council and the Green Building Certification Institute.

The project team implemented green design and construction strategies in the $80.5 million biomedical research building. Environmentally friendly elements include mechanical systems that operate at energy-efficient levels well below the energy code, and the use of 100 percent outdoor-air supply at all times within the building.

The project team also incorporated open space and landscaping with greatly reduced storm water runoff.

The 10-story, 206,000-square-foot building features steel, brick and glass on the exterior; and modular laboratories, animal vivarium, conference rooms and a Clinical Core Lab facility on the interior.
Clayco Inc. was the construction manager on the project and Cannon Design was the architect.
