THE TERRY THOMAS RECEIVES LEED GOLD CERTIFICATION
The Terry Thomas, home to Weber Thompson, earned Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification for Core and Shell from the U.S. Green Building Council, a national organization that recognizes achievements in sustainable or “green” construction. The Terry Thomas was designed and submitted for LEED Gold certification by Weber Thompson. The building is the first privately developed building in Seattle to achieve LEED Gold certification for Core and Shell. Weber Thompson documentation for LEED Platinum certification for Commercial Interiors for the firm’s office tenant improvements in the building is pending. “This is a major milestone for The Terry Thomas, as LEED Gold certification for the Core and Shell was one of the project’s original goals,” said Scott Thompson AIA, LEED AP, a founding principal at Weber Thompson, and leader of The Terry Thomas design team. “LEED certification is a widely recognized standard for measuring sustainability in buildings. We are very excited our building achieved this.”
