The Seattle headquarters of PATH, an international nonprofit, has been certified LEED gold.
GVA Kidder Mathews' Sustainability Practice worked with SkB Architects on a plan for the offices in 2201 Westlake.
The design team emphasized office layout and use of sustainable building materials.
The open floor plan has extensive windows to cut energy consumption.
Many of the materials are low-VOC and came from recycled sources.
The office is expected to use 35 percent less water when compared to similar buildings, and 94 percent of equipment and appliances are energy-efficient.
