• The proceeds of the bond are designated for financing and refinancing LEED certified buildings, specifically targeting three projects: the First Year Student Housing Project (seeking LEED Gold with on-site rainwater management), the Aerospace Engineering Sciences Building (planned for LEED Gold with electric vehicle chargers), and Williams Village East Housing (pursuing LEED platinum with water efficiency strategies and car-sharing space).
