Gulf Islands Operations Centre - LEED Platinum (F2)

This is the Gulf Islands Operations Centre designed by Larry McFarland Architects and located in Sidney, British Columbia.  It was one of the first, if not the first, buildings to receive LEED Platinum certification in Canada, which is quite the accomplishment.  The building has an ocean-based geothermal system, photovoltaic panels (20% of power), and various water and energy saving technologies.

"F2" is short for "Flickr Friday," a weekly short posted on Friday with an image from Flickr and a quick description.  Feel free to email me your F2 ideas.
