Historical Info:

• UNCW's first parking deck opened in conjunction with Seahawk Crossing (Phase III of the privatized student housing program).
• The parking deck's regionally produced materials, electric hook-ups for hybrid cars and other features helped the Seahawk Crossing complex earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. The LEED rating system is the nationally accepted standard for design, construction and operation of green buildings. Seahawk Crossing is the first LEED certified project at UNCW, reaching the "Silver" level of LEED certification.
