New Mount Pleasant MUSC Facility Earns LEED Certification

The new MUSC Health East Cooper facility has earned LEED certification through the United States Green Building Council, the facility's architectural firm announced Monday.

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification is a voluntary, consensus-based, market-driven program that provides third-party verification of green buildings.  

Mount Pleasant architectural firm, Stubbs Muldrow Herin, led the design team for the 84,000-square-foot Hungryneck Blvd. facility. 

The designers had two goals as they planned the project: One was to create an environment using materials that would promote healing. Secondly, a high efficiency ice storage HVAC system was incorporated, which lowers operational costs of the facility while providing exceptional internal environment.
