Affinity Health site dubbed green building

MENASHA - The Greenville Affinity Medical Group clinic, W6981 Park View Drive, has achieved “certified” status through the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System.

It is the first health care facility in Wisconsin and only one of a few throughout the nation to earn this distinction, Affinity reported.

The LEED Green Building Rating System is a voluntary standards and certification program created by the U.S. Green Building Council that recognizes environmentally friendly construction projects. The Affinity clinic, which opened in July 2005, incorporates environmentally friendly, sustainable concepts.

The clinic was built by Oscar J. Boldt Construction. The company has been awarded a dozen LEED registered projects and gained Silver LEED certification on its regional office in Stevens Point.
