There are 6 comments on St. Mary’s Street LEEDs the Pack

  1. I live just down the street in BU Housing, yet we do not have recycling option in our building. Maybe we should think about providing basic green resources towards all of BU Housing rather than just one super building?

    Just a thought.

  2. Very nice to see this (esp. having lived across the street for two years and having no idea what all the construction early in the morning was for…at least it went to something worthwhile)

    At the same time, while living on buswell, all the apartments are sweltering constantly as the heaters remain on even in 70 degree weather. simple solutions to these problems should be considered when discussing energy efficiency and wasteful expenditures. Hopefully all of south can be remodeled with a similar concept, or remodeled at all!

  3. The landscape has been mutilated throughout the process
    the inner courtyard recieved all the masonry , sheetrock, and other dust and waste from contractors. Yet it is a green area with potential. The outside has the constant battle with dog urine and feces. Cooperation starts from within.The
    inner courtyard could be an urban oasis with patio type settings and native plantings with drip or xeriscape irrigation that would satisfy LEED requirements and the office of sustain ability. Lets see what the B.U. grounds crew hasto offer

  4. Please tell me you’re not paying $3.5 million simply for LEED services. If so, you’re way overpaying. I presume that $3.5 million is construction cost.
