The Quest Diagnostics clinical laboratory in Marlborough has received a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
The 209,000-square-foot lab serves as the company’s hub for the New England area and houses more than 1,000 employees. Environmentally friendly features of the building include Energy Star appliances and computers, a non-smoking campus, showers for walkers or bike riders, low-flow toilets and sinks, reclaimed materials, recycling and occupancy sensors to turn off lights, according to a release from Quest.
In addition, most building materials within the laboratory were manufactured within a 500-mile radius, and construction materials included Forest Stewardship Council certified wood from qualified sources not harmful to ecosystems.
The LEED rating system is the most widely used third-party verification for green buildings.
