Geddes Hall is <a href="https://green.nd.edu/news/greener-pastures/">the first building at Notre Dame to receive a LEED accreditation (Gold rating)</a> in 2010. During the construction of this building, 31% of the building materials were manufactured within a 500-mile radius, ultimately reducing transportation emissions. Low-flow plumbing fixtures also reduce water consumption by 45%, and the landscape design utilizes an irrigation system with control technology and drip irrigation, reducing water consumption by 58%. Showers have also been included in this building to promote bicycling commuters.</p><ul class="links"> <li><a href="https://socialconcerns.nd.edu/">Center for Social Concerns</a></li> <li><a href="https://mcgrath.nd.edu/">Institute for Church Life</a></li> <li><a href="https://tour.nd.edu/locations/geddes-hall">Virtual Tour</a></li> </ul>
