The Chicago Center for Green Technology was a 34,000-square-foot (3,200 m2) US Green Building Council LEED Platinum certified building located on a plot of 17 acres (69,000 m2) in Chicago's East Garfield Park Community[1] built to showcase green technologies. This was the first municipal and brownfield site to win a LEED Platinum award.[2] This project was completed as part of Mayor Richard M. Daley's Chicago Brownfield Initiative (CBI).[1] The center offered workshops focusing on green technology and sustainable design, a green building resource center, and self-guided or guided tours to visitors.[3]
The center ceased operations in October 2014, though building tenants remained. Baker, Matt (October 30, 2014). "Chicago Center for Green Technology to Close". Sustainable Chicago. Index Publishing. Archived from the original on 2018-01-11. Retrieved February 28, 2017.
