The expansion and renovation of the AUMA headquarters was intended to provide an updated and more appropriate facility that would showcase the application of sustainable design elements and construction techniques. The AUMA approached this project with the desire to set a benchmark for other municipal construction projects to emulate. The result is a building with very low operating costs, superior health and comfort conditions for occupants, and reduced impact on the local ecosystem.

Construction commenced in April 2003 and was completed in November of the same year. The building occupies 9,600 square feet and has 5 levels.

The AUMA office of Environmental Excellence is a LEED certified project. LEED stands for “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design” and it is the national standard measurement for developing high performance sustainable buildings.

The building incorporates a number of sustainable design features and elements that will have immediate positive impacts on both the internal and external environment and ecosystem.
