Las Vegas City Hall just
opened its doors a few weeks ago and their newly constructed building is in the
process of becoming a LEED Gold building.
They are about to submit their report and will hopefully be approved
shortly after. A few members of SSC are
currently enrolled in the class, Sustainable Construction, and our professor
was able to get us a guided tour of the new building as well as meet with the
City of Las Vegas’s Chief Sustainable Officer.
He invited the UNLV SSC to join too.
Below are photos from our field trip today:

Architecture outside it supposed to represent the future, with the sunlight hitting the "solar tree forest."

The inside is supposed to represent the present,
with the "waterfall" paying tribute to the Hoover Dam.
And lastly, the outside is supposed to represent the past, with this style portraying the land of the Springs that once inhabited Las Vegas
View of the LEED ND, and other LEED certified buildings being built including the Smith Center for the Performing Arts and Symphony Park.
