Appleton, WI (PRWEB) October 18, 2006 -- Hoffman LLC, one of the nation’s largest planning, architecture and construction firms that specializes in energy-efficient building design, was recently honored with awards by both the Wisconsin Green Building Alliance and the Associated General Contractors of Wisconsin.
“We are pleased to have been recognized by such highly regarded organizations,” said Terri Pawer, Hoffman president. “These awards serve as outside validation and verification of our continued commitment to sustainable design and construction in various markets. As evidenced in our projects, our dedication is not only to our clients, but to the future of our state and the environment as a whole.”
In the education market, Hoffman received a SE2 Sustainability & Energy Efficiency Leadership Award sponsored by the WGBA. The award annually recognizes leadership in energy efficient and sustainable design, construction and operation of Wisconsin buildings. Hoffman was selected for their work on Woodland School in Kimberly, WI.
The 134,000 square foot facility, which opened its doors in Aug. for the 2006-2007 school year, contains sustainable design elements including waterless urinals, daylighting sensors and the use of recycled and low emitting materials. Hoffman will be honored for this award on Oct. 18 at the Sustainability and Energy Efficiency Leadership Conference at the Monona Terrace and Convention Center in Madison, WI.
Hoffman also received a Build Wisconsin Award in the Environmental Excellence category from the AGC of Wisconsin. The award was given to Hoffman for the completion of the Affinity Medical Group Family Practice Clinic in Little Chute, WI.
Slated to be one of the first LEED certified* clinics in the state, Affinity’s Little Chute Clinic opened in December 2005. The 12,177 square foot facility features glass walls that allow natural light into the lobby and high indoor air quality. Hoffman will receive the award on Nov. 2 at the Build Wisconsin Awards Program at Acuity Insurance in Sheboygan, WI.
