Arkansas has a strong commitment to sustainable construction, which is evidenced by the high profile buildings that are LEED certified in the state. The Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock was the state’s first LEED certified structure, and the Mars Petcare facility in Fort Smith was the first manufacturing facility in Arkansas to achieve certification. Arkansas’s first platinum level LEED residential development is a luxury loft complex in downtown Little Rock. These projects and many others like them in Arkansas and across the nation require sustainable building materials to achieve their environmental goals.
