Jack H. Miller Center for Musical Arts - Holland, Michigan - LEED Buildings on Waymarking.com

Jack H. Miller Center for Musical Arts, an LEED Silver Certified Building, is located on the Hope College Campus in Holland, Michigan

Home to the college’s Department of Music, the Jack H. Miller Center for Musical Arts opened in 2015 and is the first building at Hope to earn LEED certification.

It achieved LEED Silver Certification for implementing practical and measurable strategies and solutions aimed at achieving high performance in sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

Among other examples, characteristics and practices in the building’s favor ranged from its location adjacent to downtown and the availability of public transportation, to the use of light-colored concrete to reflect light, to retention and filtering of storm water run-off on-site, to ductwork being covered during construction to keep it free of dust.

By weight, the materials used in construction have 32 percent recycled content (the concrete helped with that), and by cost more than 55 percent came from within 500 miles.  LED lighting bolsters an overall reduction in electrical use relative to others of the building’s size, and extra meters allow power use to be monitored.  Cleaning supplies are chosen to minimize environmental impact, and containers in the building encourage recycling.
