The complex was designed to achieve LEED Silver certification. Environmental design features includes:
- Extensive use of regional, recycled, low-voc materials.
- High-efficiency HVAC with a direct, digital control system exploits the thermal mass of the swimming pool water to reduce overall energy use.
- High-efficiency dehumidification and complete segregation of the natatorium.
- Landscaping along with high-reflectance paving and roof reduces heat island effect.
- Athletic fields use artificial turf, which tolerates more frequent and intensive playing field use, while reducing stormwater runoff by 35%.
