A small ceremony was held at 130 Somerset Street today to mark an achievement for the building. It is the first of it’s kind in Atlantic Canada and one of only 18 across the country to achieve gold status in leadership, energy and environmental design. Commercial Properties designed and constructed the building and President John Irving says this will set the standard for up-coming projects and any renovation work to their exsisting properties.
The building is 25,000 square feet and features several initiatives including reduced lighting, a rainwater collection system and low flow washroom fixtures.
