The Whitney in NYC goes LEED

As Reported by The Real Deal, the Whitney Museum will become the city's first LEED certified museum, with outside galleries to boot. The Museum will be moving from it's current address on the Upper East Side at Madison and 75th to an address that's "a return to our roots in the village" says Whitney director, Adam Weinburg. Weinburg stated that the museum will be certified "at minimum but we hope gold," and will include a free zone on the ground level with displays from the museums permanent collection.
