Greenstone Building

(

)

Building seen from across Franklin Avenue

... that the Greenstone Building (pictured), housing federal offices in downtown Yellowknife, opened ten years ago today, is the first LEED Gold certified building in Northern Canada?

ALT1:... that the Greenstone Government of Canada Building (pictured), opened ten years ago today in downtown Yellowknife generates 5% of its own electricity through building-integrated photovoltaics in its southern curtain wall?
ALT2:... that even on winter days when the temperature reaches −50 °C (−58 °F) and other offices in Yellowknife close, the Greenstone Government of Canada Building (pictured), opened ten years ago today, is warm enough for workers to stay at their desks?
ALT3:... that the LEED Gold Certified Greenstone Government of Canada Building (pictured), opened ten years ago today in downtown Yellowknife uses about half the water of a comparably sized building?
ALT4:... that the Greenstone Government of Canada Building (pictured), opened ten years ago today in downtown Yellowknife was named for the minerals under the city, and marks the location of a local fault on its lobby floor?

Comment: ~~I am not entirely finished with this (at the time of nomination, anyway) and I see the opportunity for some more exciting hooks, so watch this space.~~ OK, I'm done now and have added more hooks.
And while I also hadn't thought of this as an anniversary-related article, it has only just now occurred to me, looking ahead, that October 14 (I think) is the ten-year anniversary of the building's formal opening. If approved before then, I would have no problem rewriting the hooks to accommodate that.

I will review this. In the meantime I've disambiguated LEED. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 18:49, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Hooks are all valid and correctly sourced as follows:

Main hook: ref [15]
ALT1: refs [5] and [1] (I added [1] in the "Reception" paragraph)
ALT2: ref [7]
ALT3: ref [5]
ALT4: refs [4] and [12]

All sources are of good quality and have been referenced correctly. No evidence of copyvio or similar. Creation date (3 Sep) and length are suitable. I have assessed at B-class. The picture is suitably licensed and shows up well at this the DYK thumbnail size.

An interesting article (and building). My preference in terms of hooks is ALT2. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 12:07, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

I have added the material to support an Oct. 14 run date and will move it to that queue. Thanks! Daniel Case (talk) 15:00, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
