UNT Apogee Stadium earns LEED Platinum Certification
The United States Green Building Council has awarded a LEED Platinum Certification to the University of North Texas’ Apogee Stadium. The Apogee Stadium became the first newly constructed collegiate football stadium in the nation to achieve the highest level of LEED certification.
The 31,000-seat Apogee Stadium features luxury suites, an amenity-filled club level, a Spirit Store, a corporate deck and a unique end-zone seating area. In addition to hosting UNT events, it will serve the entire North Texas region as a venue for outdoor concerts, community events, high school games and band competitions.
In addition, UNT currently is installing three wind turbines at Apogee Stadium. The wind project is expected to be completed in December 2011 and will feed the electrical grid that powers the stadium.
