The U.S. Green Building Council Cincinnati Regional Chapter will hold a free tour of the LEED Gold Cincinnati Herald Building this Thursday from 5:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m.
The three-story, 46,000-square-foot building at 3440 Burnet Avenue in Avondale was designed by DNK Architects, Inc. and serves as the headquarters of the Cincinnati Herald. The building also houses offices for Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and street-level retail space.
In addition to earning LEED Gold certification last year, the structure was selected as a Green Building of America Award-winning project and was featured in the Real Estate & Construction Review Midwest "Green Success Stories" edition.
Designer Raffi Tomassian of DNK Architects, Thomas Stinger of developer Al. Neyer, Inc., and Franz Stansbury of the Uptown Consortium and Burnet Avenue Association will be on hand to answer questions.
RSVP to communication@usgbc-cincinnati.org or (513) 260-9025 to have a copy of the LEED checklist reserved for the tour. Registration is appreciated, but not required.
On January 14, a tour will be held at DeSales Flats, Woodburn Avenue and Chapel Street in East Walnut Hills. Materials also can be reserved for that tour.
