When SC Johnson added a new addition to its Childcare Learning Center in Racine, Wisconsin in 2006, we applied for our company's first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED^®) certification.

The addition also became one of the first LEED^®-registered new construction buildings in Wisconsin.

The U.S. Green Building Council's LEED^® Green Building Rating System™ is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance buildings.

Our new Childcare Learning Center addition includes environmentally-responsible features such as a solar-heated hot water system, landscaping to reduce the need for air-conditioning in the summer, water-efficient landscaping and areas for the collection and storage of recyclables.

The 10,000-square-foot wing provides 10 new classrooms and additional storage space, ensuring SC Johnson continues to have space for employees' children without a waiting list.
