Exciting news from the Cincinnati Public Schools System. CPS is in the midst of building its first LEED Certified school to services Amberly Village, Golf Manor and Pleasant Ridge.

The new Pleasant Ridge Elementary, designed by Steed Hammond Paul was engineered to meet the standards of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ created by the United States Green Building Council.

The LEED building exercise has been a true learning experience that CPS is carrying forward into the 10 year, $1 Billion dollar Facility Renovation Master Plan project in which over two dozen school will be refurbished.
