When the LettermanHospital at the Presidio of San Francisco was demolished after standing vacant for more than 10 years, it didn't completely disappear.
Not only did that make construction of the LettermanDigitalArtsCenter more efficient -- concrete-framed buildings were erected in just 12 months -- it also kept hundreds of thousands of tons of debris out of Bay Area landfills.
Recycling the old construction materials was just one of the conservation efforts that will earn the LettermanDigitalArtsCenter a Gold Certified Rating from the U.S. Green Building Council for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), signifying some of the highest standards of sustainable development.
