Summary• Department of Energy Grant enabled LEED Platinum to become the
target
• Grant process started with a “passionate advocate” and dedicated commitment on the part of Oakland University
• Grant submittal process was collaborative effort
• Because of uncertainty about grant award, the design process required flexibility
