Page, a multidisciplinary design, architecture and engineering firm, earned a LEED v4 ID+C Platinum certification in March for its office space in the Indeed Tower located in downtown Austin.

A Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, certification is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement, according to the U.S. Green Building Council.

“This certification is more than a milestone for our Austin office—it is a reflection of how we approach every project,” said Daniel Brooks, managing director of Page’s Austin office, in a statement. “We strive to lead by example.”

Requirements of the award include scoring on energy efficiency, water conservation, site selection, material selection, day lighting and waste reduction.


The space uses 17% less energy and over 33% less indoor water use, attributed to enhanced monitoring systems and smart design, a news release states.

Roughly half of the furniture in the office was reused, cutting down on waste. The materials used to finish the 39,620-square-foot space were carefully chosen for their lower environmental impact, helping reduce the office’s carbon footprint by 16%.

The company has designed several other large-scale projects in the Austin area, including the Indeed Tower itself, The Texas Capitol Complex, Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin and Austin Energy’s headquarters.

In partnership with LMN Architects, Page’s latest venture will oversee the design of the Austin Convention Center redevelopment project, which broke ground in April.
