HGA is Latest A&E to Join CBE

In Fall 2011, we also welcomed HGA Architects and Engineers, Inc., as a new CBE partner. HGA is an integrated architecture, engineering and planning firm with more than 600 professionals located in seven U.S. locations, including 170 LEED accredited professionals representing all disciplines of the practice. The firm is active in healthcare, corporate and government organizations, arts, community, higher education, science/technology and energy infrastructure sectors.

HGA strives to create places that meet aggressive performance targets that enhance eco-system health and provide financial best value. An example of this commitment is shown in the recent renovation and addition to the historically significant School of Education Building at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. The building is LEED Platinum-certified and is the first LEED certified project on the Madison campus and the first Platinum certification in the state university system. The project uses chilled beam technology, also a first in the state system, both to reduce energy consumption and to minimize space needed for ductwork in the original historic building.
