Genzyme Center tour

Genzyme is an international biotechnology company founded in Boston, MA, USA in 1981. Last Friday I went to see their new corporate headquarters building on a tour organized by the MIT Energy Club. This building has earned a Platinum certification - the highest under the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System™. The Genzyme Center is also pretty cool: natural light is everywhere, all workers have a view outside and there are several hundred windows that can be opened to let in the fresh air any time of the year. A virtual tour is available as well as some photos I've taken.
