University Of North Texas to Build a LEED College Football Stadium

Inhabitat reader Erin tells us that the University of North Texas is in the midst of building another LEED certified college football stadium. The first LEED certified college football stadium opened in September 2009 at the University of Minnesota with their TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. After The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved UNT’s proposal back in October the university held a groundbreaking ceremony to commemorate the special occasion. The new stadium will replace the 57-year-old Fouts Field, and is one of many green projects happening on campus as part of the UNT “We Mean Green” initiative.
