Regents Hall at St. Olaf College is a sustainable science building that serves as a model for green chemistry and environmental stewardship. It was designed to minimize hazardous chemical waste and reduce energy consumption through efficient processes and passive solar design. The building obtained LEED Platinum certification and uses sustainable materials like linoleum flooring and FSC-certified wood. A green roof helps reduce the building's energy needs and filters pollutants from rainwater. Through its design and operation, Regents Hall generates less waste and uses resources more efficiently than traditional buildings.
