"When we planned Tahoe's new academic building, we challenged Pritzker Prize winning architect, Thom Mayne, to design an innovative structure that would inspire and contribute to nurturing the exceptional, creative talent common among our faculty and students. We also placed a high priority on achieving the highest levels of energy efficiency, environmental quality and sustainability. The certification as a LEED Gold building underscores TCC's commitment to California to reduce its carbon footprint 30 percent by 2017. We have now surpassed the challenge, exceeding the goal by 10 percent and achieving that seven years early."
