Springfield College Health Science Center Earns LEED Silver Certification

Springfield College’s Health Science Center has achieved LEED Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, recognizing the project’s commitment to sustainability, resource efficiency, and environmental stewardship. 

The four-story, 76,000-square-foot facility serves as a cornerstone of the College’s growing health sciences program, providing state-of-the-art academic and laboratory spaces designed to foster collaboration and innovation. 

Bohler’s Boston office played a key role in bringing the project to life, spearheading several critical on-campus infrastructure initiatives. The team provided site civil engineering, design, and permitting services for the new Health Science Center, including the reconfiguration of existing parking areas to accommodate the building footprint and the design of new utility services and stormwater management systems. 

As part of the College’s sustainability goals, Bohler helped the project earn three full points toward stormwater management credits by designing a system that retains onsite stormwater equivalent to greater than the 98th percentile of rainfall events—significantly reducing runoff and mitigating environmental impact. The team also assisted in completing key LEED documentation, including the Site Assessment Worksheet. 

“Achieving LEED Silver certification reflects Springfield College’s and the project team’s shared commitment to responsible development,” said Will Granbery, Project Engineer at Bohler. “We’re proud to have supported the creation of a high-performance facility that will benefit students and the surrounding community for years to come.” 

The Springfield College Health Science Center reinforces the institution’s leadership in sustainable campus development and enhances its mission of educating students in service to humanity.
