You know a trend has arrived when Livonia jumps on the bandwagon, even more so when the Catholic Church comes along for the ride. Such is the case with green building in Metro Detroit now that Madonna University is constructing Livonia‘s first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certified structure.

The SmithGroup-designed building is the first one built on the campus of the private, liberal arts university in 40 years. The 60,000 square-foot structure includes an array of environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient features, such as XXX.

“This building is a symbol of the dedicated faculty, energetic students, accomplished alumni and visionary trustees and administrators,” says Sr. Rose Marie Kujawa, Madonna’s president. “Its green qualities and LEED certification testify to our seriousness of purpose regarding the Franciscan value of reverence for creation.”
