Securian 401 building<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

LEED recertification is a rare occurrence in the Twin Cities, but Securian\u2019s 401 office building in downtown St. Paul recently received a Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). The building, located at 401 Robert St. North, was the first existing building in St. Paul to earn LEED certification in 2009, and is one of only two buildings in the city to go through the recertification process.<\/p>\n

The two office buildings at 400 and 401 Robert St. that comprise Securian Center opened in 1982 and 2000, respectively, and have Energy Star ratings of 87 and 94. According to a news release, the 401 building did not require significant modifications in order to earn the LEED recertification, even though it underwent a more rigorous review than in 2009.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe design of the building was very forward-thinking,\u201d said JB Matthews, Cushman & Wakefield\/Northmarq, which manages Securian\u2019s 1 million square feet of commercial space in St. Paul. \u201cThe infrastructure in the 401 may be 14 years old, but it certainly aligns with many of today\u2019s sustainability and energy efficiency standards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Designed by Architectural Alliance and built by McGough Construction, the 612,000-square-foot building occupied by the Securian Financial Group does not require boilers or chillers, as St. Paul\u2019s District Energy provides all heating and cooling for the office campus. District Energy generates electricity for many properties in the area, using only clean-burning natural gas and urban wood waste, according to the Energy Innovation Corridor.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe green building movement offers an opportunity to respond to global climate change, dependence on non-sustainable and expensive sources of energy, and threats to human health,\u201d said Sheri Brezinka, executive director for the Mississippi Headwaters Chapter of the USGBC back in 2009. \u201cInnovative projects such as the 401 building are a fundamental driving force in the green building movement.\u201d<\/p>\n
