Once construction is completed on the new headquarters of Sweetwater Sound, Inc., it will be the first Gold-Level Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building in northeast Indiana.
When our ancestors imagined the future, they pictured flying cars, teleporting ... and waterless urinals. Well, okay, maybe they didn’t imagine waterless urinals or those toilets that flush in two different ways to conserve water. But in one local company’s headquarters, the urinals and toilets are helping the building do its part to help the environment.
We’re talking about the headquarters of Sweetwater Sound, Inc., located along U.S. 30 just west of Fort Wayne. It isn’t exactly a building of the future, but it comes pretty close. Once construction is completed at the end of 2007 and the certification process is complete, this will be the first Gold-Level Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building in northeastern Indiana.
