Sustainable Construction and Refurbishment Implementing Leeds Metropolitan University’s sustainable construction policy
Project snapshot
Leeds Metropolitan University has implemented its sustainable construction policy across two major developments valued at £70 million pounds. This has achieved:
• BREEAM excellent ratings (the highest available at the time) • Conducted WRAP assessments on recycled content

LMU also demonstrates in detail the revenue savings made as a result of this investment and how its sustainability policies are developing into a mature model between environment factors, social factors, cost and space.
What it means to win
The award would give fantastic recognition to everyone involved in implementing our sustainability policies, the teamwork involved internally, with design teams, partners and construction companies and demonstrate what can be achieved with the right senior management support from all parties.
