On September 14th two of Lorax’s project managers, agents known as Katie 1 and Katie 2, embarked on a mission to the nation’s capital. While img_7457previously sworn to secrecy on the sustainable design plans, the groundbreaking ceremony was the perfect opportunity to unveil the top secret plot to achieve LEED certification for the new International Spy Museum building.

L’Enfant Plaza was filled with many other secret agents disguised as groundbreaking-luncheon-attendees. From Milton Maltz, the Founder and Chairman of the Spy Museum Board, to Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, the event was abuzz with the underground intelligence community. Lorax agents were also able to strategize with fellow accomplices to the LEED mission including Hickok Cole Architects, Clark Construction, JBG Companies, Vanderweil Engineers, and the Malrite Company.img_7452

Disguised in red hard hats, all of the top agents prepared for groundbreaking as the program speakers covered the tactics that will be employed in order to successfully open the “expanded and revitalized” Spy Museum in 2018.

With construction officially kicking off, our team plans to use 30% recycled materials vastly reducing the impact on img_7473virgin and raw material resources as well as 10% regionally sourced materials to greatly reduce the negative effect of transporting these materials. We will also be diverting a minimum of 75% of debris from the landfill in order to achieve the project’s LEED and sustainability goals.

The intelligence Lorax gained on the history and educational offerings of the International Spy Museum has us readily prepared to accomplish Mission: LEED!
