The recently completed renovations of the Sigma Delta Tau and Delta Phi Epsilon sorority houses, which are owned by the University of Maryland, have received a LEED Silver rating.  LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) promotes sustainable building and development practices through a suite of rating systems that recognize projects that implement strategies for better environmental and health performance.

The renovations were managed by the Department of Facilities Management and the Department of Residential Facilities. LEED Design support was provided by the firm Design Collective, Inc.  The Department of Fraternity and Sorority Life along with both sororities worked together to ensure that proper practices were planned and utility selections made that provided points towards the LEED certification.

Congratulations to everyone involved!
