If your motto is Save the Bay, your headquarters better walk the talk.
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s home in Annapolis stands as a global pioneer in green architecture, proving that the built environment can actively contribute to environmental health rather than detract from it.
As the first office building in the world to achieve LEED Platinum certification, the facility serves as a functional "living laboratory." By integrating massive 21,000-gallon rainwater cisterns, compostable toilets, and permeable pavement, the site reduces its footprint on local infrastructure and prevents pollution from reaching the Bay.
This iconic facility on the Chesapeake offers a tangible blueprint for how modern workspaces can showcase sustainability.
