LOS ANGELES-The PacMutual Campus in Downtown Los Angeles has received LEED-Platinum certification from the US Green Building Council. The campus is the oldest building in Southern California and the first in the city to hold the green title. The building offsets 100% of energy through clean energy credits, reduces 32% of indoor water consumption and 63% of employees travel to work through alternative modes of transportation, like public transit.

“We wanted to show that a building’s age wasn’t a limiting factor towards achieving a high-level of sustainability,” says Nelson Rising, CEO of Rising Realty Partners, the owner of the PacMutual Campus. The 460,000-square-foot PacMutual Campus was built in 1908 with two additions: the Sentry Building in 1921 and the Carriage House in 1926. The original 1908 building was named the Clock Tower.
