The 2.1 million square-foot building is the second-largest existing structure in Wisconsin to receive this certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Rockwell Automation invested $3.2 million to upgrade its corporate headquarters, starting in 2001. LEED is the nation’s pre-eminent program for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings.
A comprehensive, 12-year sustainability program at Rockwell Automation headquarters, which includes combined office, laboratory, and former manufacturing space resulted in the certification. The project included physical retrofits and sustainable operational practices implemented by Rockwell Automation to reduce the environmental footprint of its corporate headquarters.
