Chamber member Sweetwater, the third-largest music instrument and pro audio retailer in the world, has been awarded LEED Platinum certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum is the USGBC’s highest rating for designing and constructing the world’s greenest, most energy-efficient and high-performance buildings.
Sweetwater’s achievement was recognized at a special ceremony at Sweetwater’s campus, 5501 US HWY 30 W in Fort Wayne, earlier today.
Sweetwater’s $35 million, 150,000 square foot corporate headquarters was completed in January of 2008. It was designed by Fort Wayne architectural firm MSKTD to achieve LEED certification for energy use, lighting, water and material use, as well as incorporating a variety of other sustainable strategies.
