Incorporating sustainability into your new buildings and renovations gives your institution a competitive edge. It improves your students’ well-being and can defray
long-term building, operations, and maintenance costs.

Demand for environmentally-friendly facilities is rising among colleges and universities across the country, and Commodore understands why. We built Massachusetts’ first passive house residence hall, New England’s first passive house multi-family building, and Boston’s first cross-laminated timber (CLT) building.

Commodore’s own corporate headquarters is one of the first offices in the state to achieve the exacting WELL Health-Safety rating. We share the growing appreciation for sustainability in buildings, and we know how to achieve it.

As climate change accelerates, so is the commitment to sustainable campuses, enabled by green building-rated systems.  

WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

Commodore can help you meet your sustainability goals through a choice of different systems and certifications. Some are easier to achieve than others. Whichever path you choose, Commodore has the experience to guide you through these processes and, in some cases, has been the first to do so, leading the way for our clients.

By selecting Commodore as your construction manager, you will gain a partner committed to sustainability who will help you create the next generation of sustainable buildings on your campus with the knowledge that comes from experience.
