Prestige

A library dedicated in Little Rock, Arkansas to President Bill Clinton, is as progressive as the man himself. The William Clinton Presidential Library is the first federally constructed building that has received the prestigious L.E.E.D platinum rating for. The platinum rating is so rare that only 28 other buildings across the globe have achieved it. The primary eco-friendly component of this building is its innovative self-sustaining green roof. This green roof filters storm water into the native planted zones, and the vegetation also helps to insulate the building, thus cutting down on energy expenses. The roof is also quite functional, with seating benches, a wooden walkway, and a natural lawn where visitors can explore or just relax.
