Greenstone Building

 * ... 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 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.   Hassocks  5489 (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.


 * Symbol confirmed.svg An interesting article (and building). My preference in terms of hooks is ALT2.   Hassocks  5489 (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)
