Fort Belvoir is positioned to be the home of the first LEED building on a military base and the second in the Commonwealth of Virginia

Certification for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Platinum status is being pursued for the Fairfax Village Center at Fort Belvoir. Formal approval from U.S. Green Building Council is expected this summer.
