The Green Building Spaces (STEM, MS – LEED Certified Buildings)

Jul 29, 2024 | Green Campus

Dwight-Englewood is proud to have two of its buildings LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified, awarded by the USGBC (U.S. Green Building Council). The first building, the Hajjar STEM Center – more commonly known as “STEM” – consists of seven flexible classrooms and eight science laboratories, a greenhouse, an outdoor study garden space, the outdoor Jerome Classroom which contains the space shuttle white pine, and floor-to-ceiling glass windows that welcome natural lighting. Additionally, recently built in 2020, the Middle School was awarded LEED Platinum (the highest honor), featuring a central grove of elm trees, a thickly planted courtyard and a bioswale bridge with a microclimate of native trees and rich groundcover plantings of various ferns, innovative landscape and drainage features exceeding municipal and NJ-DEP stormwater management standards, and repurposed boulders referencing the geology of the nearby Palisades. Dwight-Englewood’s commitment to sustainable development is further supported by the series of solar panels on the roof of the Campus Center.
