LEED-Certified Expansion at Seattle University Welded with Electronic Fuel Injected “Green” Welder Generator |
 |
Seattle University’s new Lemieux Library and McGoldrick Learning Commons— scheduled to open in September 2010—transforms the original 1966 building into a 21st century, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold-certified masterpiece.
Spearheading the structural steel work is Apex Steel of Redmond, WA - experienced in LEED-certified construction and specializes in structural steel, steel reinforcement and tower crane erection. |

“It’s important for Apex to be an active member of the LEED process and find ways that our processes help contractors/projects meet certification requirements,” says Jill Johnson, vice president of operations, Apex Steel. “Operating machines that produce fewer emissions is one way we’ve identified to do that.”
