Columbia University’s 17-acre Manhattanville campus, which is now rising in West Harlem, has achieved New York State’s first Platinum certification under the LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) rating system.

Demolition and construction are well under way and feature a variety of innovative waste and pollution management techniques.
