The Solid Waste Administration Building Renovations for the City of Tallahassee (COT) consists of the addition of a new second story to a structure not originally designed to support it, and total renovation to its first floor. More importantly, the building was renovated as a "green" building with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)^TM Certification. The building's original roof structure consists of structural concrete tees pitched to the north for water flow which had to be "lifted" six inches to obtain a level surface for the new 2nd floor. A new elevator and a single staircase were added to the building for vertical circulation and accessibility.

A few of the green-certifiable features included in the project are: Erosion and sedimentation techniques Designated parking for alternative fuel vehicles / carpoolers Minimal site disturbance / Minimal heat island effect Water efficient landscaping / Water use reduction Building commissioning / Optimal energy performance Fluorocarbon elimination / Elimination of tobacco smoke

Systems controls for measurement and verification Storage/collection of recyclables De-construction / Resource-reuse Use of regional materials with recycled content Minimum indoor air quality (IAQ) standards Low emitting materials / Enhanced use of daylight and views
