Governor's Environmental Stewardship Award
The Music City Center is proud to announce that our wonderful building has been selected as the winner of the 2013 Governor's Environmental Stewardship Award in the Building Green category!
The Governor's Environmental Stewardship Award program recognizes exceptional actions that improve or protect our environment through initiatives not required by law. The Building Green award recognizes innovation in structural design, construction techniques, operational efficiency and reduction in overall carbon footprint. During the selection process, the panel of 28 judges focused on the following criteria: results, innovation, leadership, environmental issues, transferability, education and outreach, exceptional commitment, environmental justice, and cooperation.
The MCC was chosen for the award due to its many impressive sustainable features, such as our 211 kilowatt solar panel system, the innovative storm water capture system, LED lighting and a high-efficiency HVAC system. The award will be officially presented at the Governor's Environmental Stewardship Awards ceremony on June 25 at Lipscomb University's Shamblin Theatre.
