Toyota Elephant Passage and LEED

Toyota Elephant Passage will be a model for sustainable design and renewable energy and is expected to be the first large animal exhibit complex in the country to be LEED^® certified through the United States Green Building Council.  The LEED^®program recognizes sustainable and green building practices. The entire 10-acre Toyota Elephant Passage complex, which includes more than 10 major buildings, is expected to be certified at the gold or platinum level.  To achieve LEED^® certification, Toyota Elephant Passage will use renewable energy, recycled water, natural daylight and ventilation, efficient heating and cooling systems and other green design and construction practices.

We look forward to sharing our experiences with our guests as this project develops.
