Shortly after its grand opening in 2003, the David L. Lawrence Convention Center was awarded Gold LEED certification by the United States Green Building Council, making it the first of its kind and one of the largest green buildings in the world.
The LEED Platinum Certification (existing building) was initially awarded in 2012 and the DLCC was certified once again in 2017. As LEED evolves, the bar is pushed higher for existing buildings to have more positive environmental outcomes, and much more stringent requirements have been put into place. The DLCC had continued to put sustainability and healthy buildings at the forefront and in 2022 the DLCC met these new stringent requirements and earned a Gold LEED certification.
