Why We're Green
At The Cambridge, we're
deeply committed to
safeguarding our
environment. We have added
and continue to add many
"green" features to the
building in order to reflect
this commitment. Some of the
changes we've already made are
listed below, and we will be
providing links to further
information about each
particular feature and its
environmental benefits. The
list will grow as we add
more features during our
ongoing building renovation
project, so please check
back often to see how we're
improving.
