Ann’s House, the school’s newest residence hall, officially opened for the fall 2009 semester.
“Ann’s House was constructed as part of Alfred University’s commitment to becoming a greener, more sustainable campus,” explained Alfred University’s President, Dr. Charles M. Edmondson. “Installing Cree LEDs throughout this new dormitory will provide our students with better visibility, as well as help Alfred University significantly save on energy and maintenance costs. The widespread use of LED lighting around our campus is certainly something we’re looking at as we continue to find new ways to reduce our carbon footprint.”
Project Highlights:

• The school’s first environmentally-friendly dormitory features more than 175 Cree LED lights and 18 LEDDynamics EverLED TR fluorescent tube replacements throughout the 15,000 square-foot hall.
• Designed to set a new standard in green construction for the Alfred University campus, Ann’s House was designed to be certified at the Silver level or above by the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System.
• LED lighting can be an effective way to help commercial buildings like Ann’s House gain valuable LEED points.
