Tarrant County Jail
x
<p><span style="font-family:serif;">First County Jail in Texas to achieve LEED Gold This maximum security facility is located in the center of downtown Fort Worth, Texas next to the county courts. Despite its urban locale, the jail’s construction diverted more than 80% of waste from landfills. The 207,000 square-foot facility realized 40% in energy cost savings and improved ventilation that exceeds the required amount by 400%. Amazingly, the project finished construction review with no comments from the USGBC’s LEED reviewers.</span></p>
