The campus expansion, the latest project in a decade-long collaboration between Edwards Lifesciences and LPA, features five LEED-certified buildings, including a LEED Platinum, net-zero energy pavilion, and three LEED Gold-certified facilities. The project added 1,100 kilowatts of renewable energy photovoltaic systems, contributing to a total of 2,200 kilowatts of grid-connected systems across the campus. These installations, seamlessly integrated into the architecture and landscape, produce approximately 3.5 megawatt-hours of energy annually, placing Edwards Lifesciences at the forefront of corporate sustainability initiatives. The USGBC jury praised the project for its "impressive performance achievement at scale, especially in a lab, which is difficult to do." Describing the team as "dogged" in pursuit of energy efficiency, the jury recognized a "great connection between sustainability and added value for the client" in the design. "Each strategy is well incorporated to do more than one thing at a time, and even transportation is addressed. Good example of sustainable design at campus scale."

"Lanier is a reflection of the resilience and aspirations of the Westside community." -- Federico Cavazos, LPA
