Sanford-Burnham Institute for Medical Research

Description

Burnham’s San Diego campus at 10900 N. Torrey Pines Road consists of 9 buildings, including a central mechanical building and a parking structure. Five of the nine buildings, comprising 89% of the total enclosed square footage, are laboratory buildings. The facilities were constructed in three stages beginning in 1975, added to in 1994, and completed during year 2000.

In 2008 Burnham decided to pursue LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance on their San Diego Campus. Within this Rating System projects are evaluated and certified by the US Green Building Council (USGBC). For evaluation, LEED uses six environmental categories: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Innovation in Design. In December of 2009, the San Diego Campus achieved the Certified level within the LEED-EB Operations and Maintenance Rating System.
