Since the retirement of the previous Sustainability/LEED Manager at the University of Washington in 2016, O’Brien360 has served in that role on a contract basis. Our charge is to represent the University’s sustainability and LEED goals on capital projects across the three university campuses - Seattle, Tacoma, and Bothell. At the time we took over the work, there were a dozen current LEED v3 projects in various stages of design, construction, and certification. All projects are pursuing Gold level certification; two have received LEED Gold, a half dozen are in final stages of certification, and the rest are under construction.
