The 7,000 ft2 (650 m2) building, which includes offices and public space, also earned a LEED® Silver rating from the U.S. Green Building Council in September. Port Blakely Communities served as developer, and Weber + Thompson served as architect and interior designer. For more information about Green Globes, see
