Robins & Morton Champions LEED® Silver Certification for U.S. Army Dental Clinic at Fort Benning
The Love Dental Clinic, located at U.S. Army Base Fort Benning in Georgia, recently received LEED® Silver Certification from the USGBC. Birmingham-based Construction Manager Robins & Morton proactively registered and managed the certification process on this $15 million design-build renovation for the Huntsville Center of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM). The two-story, newly renovated 39,734 square foot Love Dental Clinic is now an aesthetically appealing, energy efficient, modern structure that houses one of the U.S. Army’s largest and most technologically-advanced dental facilities.
Realizing the value beyond the project’s requirement to meet minimum LEED Silver standards, Robins & Morton registered the project and acted as its sustainability consultant and LEED administrator. The project achieved 55 points for Silver certification, though only 50 points were necessary to be certified.
“Robins & Morton has successfully managed the LEED process on multiple projects in the past,” said Corporate Sustainability Director Jackie Mustakas, “So we felt it was our responsibility, to our client and to the environment, to take initiative and oversee successful LEED Silver Certification on the Love Dental Clinic project as well.”
