Recently passing its 100-year anniversary, UCLA has been a demonstrative leader in building performance. Their first certification was in 2006, and as of February 2024, UCLA has completed 64 LEED buildings, making it the 2nd largest LEED portfolio in CA behind the Irvine Company.
UCLA has set a high standard for its new construction projects, guaranteeing sustainability will be at its core. Beyond that, UCLA has also been very proactive in its commitment to sustainable procurement, reflected in their earning of 54 Los Angeles Green Business certifications. Of those, one standout is the Meyer and Renee Luskin Conference Center, which is both LEED Platinum and Green Seal certified, making it the ONLY building in California to receive both distinctions, an incredibly rare feat. A few other standout buildings are the Geffen Hall, the Wasserman Football Performance Center, and the Marion Anderson Hall, all earning LEED Platinum...and UCLA’s latest LEED project, the Nimoy Theater which earned LEED Gold.
