Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge in Hartford hopes to become the first law firm in Connecticut to earn the LEED certification. They are implementing many of the latest earthy friendly technologies for their new office at 20 Church St. in Hartford. The office will have glass panels made out of recycled bottles, countertops made out of aluminum scraps. The floors will be made partly from bamboo, which is a quickly replenished resource, and partly out of walnut, because this resource does not come from the rain forest. This earth friendly renovation is costing Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge $4 million. The firm expects to move in at the end of May and the lease is for 12 years.
