Two Large LEED Buildings in Pittsburgh

This picture is of the overhang at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. I think this is interesting because this overhang is huge, from the side of the building you can see how they have achieved this structurally. Another thing to note about this building is that it is completely green construction as well as LEED certified. The water for the building comes from an underground river that runs under the city.




This is the Alcoa Building. It also is LEED certified, at a GOLD level.
