As previously published in the MCC Daily Tribune in December 2009, the PAC Center has achieved a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold ranking. The PAC Center is the first Monroe County and MCC facility to earn this recognition. Congratulations to those who were involved in this outstanding effort!
