Friends Seminary is the first certified CHPS certified school in New York City
Better buildings. Better students.
KHA designed Friends Seminary to qualify for recognition by Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS). This alternative to LEED, developed specifically for K-12 schools, addresses student and staff health, enhanced learning environments, conservation of energy and water, and reduction of waste pollution and environmental degradation. The goal is to create the ideal learning experience, with good lighting, clean air, and comfortable classrooms in buildings with the smallest impact on the environment.
