Teknion Showrooms Receive LEED Platinum Certification

Teknion announced last week that its new Boston showroom is the company’s first in the United States to be awarded LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for Commercial Interiors 2009 Platinum by the United States Green Building Council. They also received the same award in Canada for the Teknion Montreal Showroom.

Designed by Vanderbyl Design, with tvsdesign as the architect of record, the 7,900-square-foot (734 m²) Boston space reflects Teknion’s latest thinking in workplace design. It blends multiple workplace planning styles from the casual and modern appeal of an open, fluid landscape, to more conservative, formal footprints. The showroom was designed to support health, well-being and sustainability – key factors in creating warm, welcoming and productive workplaces inspired by principles of ethonomics.
