Payette Director of Building Science Andrea Love who is also Board Chair of the U.S. Green Building Council’s Massachusetts Chapter spoke with ENR Magazine about this exciting announcement.
The 42nd President of the United States is also the namesake for the U.S. Green Building Council’s Project Haiti, a LEED-registered orphanage and children’s facility being constructed in Port-au-Prince.

The USGBC is overseeing the design, construction and financing for Haiti’s first LEED-certified children’s center.

Located along Boston’s famed Emerald Necklace designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the Klarman Building responds to the presence of this green space to create a state-of-the-art center for inpatient care and healing.
