The Health Sciences Complex was completed in 2011. The building is certified LEED Gold. Green features of the building include:
vegetated roofs, that help mitigate the 'urban heat island' effect
low-emitting building materials, which improve indoor air quality
most construction wastes was diverted from the landfill
the building includes recycled regional and durable building materials
rainwater from the building is directed to a large underground cistern — the collected water is used for flushing toilets and for irrigation, thereby reducing the need to use city water
