Career academy scores LEED-gold designation

摘要

Metro Technology Centers recently unveiled a new building on its campus that will help at-risk high school students - and the environment. The new 54,000-square-foot facility in Oklahoma City houses the Metro Career Academy, which aims to help students earn their high school diploma, give them career training and prepare them for college. The building incorporated several sustainable features, which helped the center earn a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. The designation makes the center the first LEED-certified career technical training building in Oklahoma, officials said.
