Potawatomi Hotel & Casino attains LEED Gold certification
“While obtaining LEED Gold certification is a significant achievement, the effort to obtain this certification was not about recognition,” said Mike Goodrich, Potawatomi Hotel & Casino General Manager. “Our goal was to advance sustainable business practices, which has been a long-standing tradition of the Forest County Potawatomi and a key focus at PHC for years.”
With the help of the property’s design firm Cuningham Group Architecture, Inc., the general contractor Gilbane Construction Co., and the engineering firm exp U.S. Services Inc., many steps were taken to ensure the property would achieve LEED® designation.
