  • Center for Urban Waters
    Talk about a smart building! The new Tacoma Center for Urban Waters goes beyond clever design and construction techniques. The recently opened research center and environmental laboratory actually has the capacity to react to its environmental conditions and alter itself in order to minimize its energy use. With a laundry list of green building features, the City of Tacoma's newest facility is aiming for LEED Platinum certification, plus it has the monitoring and measuring capabilities to keep it running at its greenest possible performance.
