Fort Benning’s SUSTAINABLE Showcase Ribbon Cutting December 7th, 2007 Fort Benning established in 2006, for testing and evaluation purposes, a SIS (Sustainable Interiors Showcase) and LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Point Showcase; this was the Army’s first SIS showcase since Fort Benning’s SIS was located on the ground floor of the Maneuver Center of Excellence -building 4 in the “old gym”. The MCRC2 (Maneuver Center Realignment Coordination Cell) from Fort Benning and Fort Knox which coordinated the BRAC transformation process occupied the office space through 2011

Fort Benning’s Sustainable (LEED) Showcase At No Cost To Fort Benning Manufacturers/vendors installed furniture, flooring, wall covering and other “green” products exhibiting the quality, durability and overall sustainability of their products; the displaying of these LEED point products assisted contractors in achieving the Army’s mandated LEED Silver Standard for both NC New Construction and EB Existing Building. Visitors had the opportunity to experience, first-hand, sustainable products that are commonly used in building interiors and exteriors, obtain product data that will satisfy the multiple vendors bidding process, support Green Procurement Program requirements, and streamline the actual process for the purchasing of LEED point products.
