CPC Supports Sustainability

The University of Texas at Austin recognizes and supports excellence in advancing environmental stewardship and sustainability. Since 2008, UT Austin has required that all new construction participate in the USGBC LEED Program and achieve a minimum rating of LEED Silver. Beginning with the first LEED-certified project at UT Austin, the Research Office Complex at the J. J. Pickle Research Campus (certified in 2007), the team that is now The Office of Capital Planning and Construction (CPC), has an established record of delivering projects that meet and often exceed that goal.

As part of the sustainability program at UT Austin, CPC has delivered the first SITES v2 Gold certified project at UT Austin: the 16.2 acre Dell Medical School Landscape. The certification was awarded by the Sustainable Sites Initiative, which is a national comprehensive rating system designed to distinguish sustainable landscapes.

To date, CPC has delivered 16 LEED-certified buildings to UT Austin, and several other LEED projects are in design or construction.

An asterisk (*) indicates the project was completed by CPC staff while affiliated with UT System Office of Facilities Planning and Construction.
