The Cathedral Church of St. Stephen- Addition/Renovation
LEED Certified "Green" Project - Harrisburg, PA

CH&E Construction has completed work on the first LEED Certified "Green" church in the United States. The project scope for the 21,592 sf historic complex of five church buildings included the conversion of a four-story garage to classroom space, the installation of an aluminum and glass entrance to interconnect the sanctuary to adjacent buildings, and remodeling of the existing classrooms and offices.

The LEED Certification process was developed by the US Green Building Council in 2000 as a means to establish benchmarks to identify buildings which subscribe to sustainable building and design practices. These principles include energy modelling, indoor air quality and recycling and storm water management. LEED employs a scoring process, where points are earned for compliance to sustainable standards.

G.R. Sponaugle was the MEP Contractor, and the Project Architect was McKissick Associates of Harrisburg, PA.
