Herman Miller is celebrating a shining start to the New Year with LEED CI Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council for its recently completed Los Angeles showroom. The 18,000-square-foot facility located at 3641 Holdgrege Avenue also is the first LEED CI Platinum project in Los Angeles and the 47th LEED CI Platinum project worldwide.

A former warehouse built in 1956, the facility’s significant potential was intriguing both to Herman Miller architecture and design firm tvsdesign, the interior designers on the project, and architects Lynch/Eisinger/Design. The collaboration produced a space that incorporates many environmentally sensitive measures, including its location within an area close to public transportation, local businesses, and restaurants; energy efficient light fixtures and occupancy sensors throughout the space; and MBDC, BIFMA level and GREENGUARD certified products and materials to assure an environmentally responsible interior and superior indoor air quality.
