Best Green Project: Apogee Stadium Achieves Platinum LEED
Manhattan Construction Co. completed the $78-million, 30,000-seat Apogee Stadium for the University of North Texas in July 2011. The stadium earned LEED-Platinum certification, the first collegiate stadium in the nation to achieve that designation
Apogee Stadium employs sustainable concepts, including reuse of the existing Eagle Point Golf Course as the project site and incorporation of native landscaping, low-emitting materials and recycled materials into the overall design. It also makes use of alternative transportation and parking theories.
