The Grand Rapids Art Musuem in Michigan can lay claim as the world's first LEEDS certified (Gold) art museum, when it opens to the public in October.There is a unique rainwater collecting system which reuses the water for toilets and the xeriscape landscaping, skylights and large windows with ultraviolet protective coating throughout to provide natural sunlight, wood flooring from sustainably harvested forests as well as recycled insulation and carpeting. Not to mention an educational exhibit about green building.
