New location in Lower Manhattan earns LEED Gold for Arup’s office

After relocating to a larger space in January 2012, the New York City office of engineering and consulting firm Arup received LEED Gold certification in October. The 100,000-sf space in Lower Manhattan consists of four floors connected by an internal stairway. Extensive use of LED lighting and daylighting cuts energy consumption, and low-flow toilets contribute to the office’s water efficiency. The project also received points for responsible materials procurement, such as a timber wall in the reception area that was repurposed from the Coney Island boardwalk.
