The Lincoln and Edmunds academic buildings were the first buildings in Claremont to garner a gold certification award from the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Program. They also house "Dividing the Light", a skyspace by well-known artist and alumnus James Turrell. Dialynas and Sontag Hall were built to LEED platinum standards, only the second large-scale residence halls in the country to earn that designation by their completion time. Millikan Hall is the first LEED platinum certified science building on campus.
