Monday LEEDoff: 200 Delaware Avenue in Buffalo Harvests 7200 Tons of Demolition Debris
A project in downtown Buffalo, New York is taking LEED’s Materials & Resources credit category quite seriously and expects to collect close to 7,200 tons of demolition material during the $68 million rehabilitation of what was once the Thaddeus J. Dulski Federal Office Building into the mixed-use 200 Delaware Avenue. Designed by architects Pfohl, Roberts and Biggie, the project team is slowly razing the existing 15-story building that dates from the 1970s and sorting each component of the structure, from its pipes and wires to light fixtures. According to co-developers Uniland Development Co. and Acquest Development, the effort should conserve 6,434 tons of concrete exterior panels, 570 tons of interior concrete and brick, 200 tons of steel and metal, and 10 tons of aluminum.
