A Commitment to Sustainability
The OCC was the first U.S. convention center to receive LEED-EB certification for an existing building under the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. The facility’s many sustainable design features and the staff’s commitment to continuous improvement of its practices have created one of the “greenest” venues in the country.
