The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) joined federal, state, and local elected officials and community leaders to celebrate the completion of the Southwestern Yard, designed and constructed to attain LEED Silver Certification with many “green” features.
The features include: pollution reducing construction processes, easy access to public transportation for workers, treatment of storm water runoff, and the use of low-emitting paints, sealants, coatings, and materials. There is also energy-saving lighting and air conditioning.
