LLBean’s Data Center in Freeport, Maine was awarded a LEED silver certification.
L.L.Bean’s building process featured regional sourcing of materials, minimized site disturbance and the recycling of 50 percent of all construction waste to meet the LEED requirements. The wood used for the structure’s distinctive New England-style shingles was harvested within a 500-mile radius, using sustainable forestry practices.
