Top 10 Green Buildings, 2011

Lance Armstrong Foundation, Austin, Texas
Lake | Flato Architects
The headquarters for Lance Armstrong's foundation was established in a renovated 1950s warehouse that was transformed into a multifunctional office space. For the new design, 88% of the material from the original building was recycled and used, while the roof's center bays were replaced with north-facing windows to harvest daylight. No toxic chemicals were used in or around the building, which earned a gold certification from Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).
