Case Study: Edgewood College achieves LEED Silver sustainability and reliable, secure access with dormakaba

Edgewood College - Customer Case Study

Edgewood College, an independent liberal arts institution in Madison, WI, built a 72,000 sq ft, four‑story Dominican Hall residence to house 168 students with a mission to maximize sustainability and achieve LEED Silver. To meet the project’s high‑traffic, daylighting and green‑materials requirements, dormakaba supplied architectural door hardware for internal and external openings, including 8900 and 7400 series door closers and 9000 series exit devices.

dormakaba’s durable, ADA‑compliant door closers and exit devices provided reliable, secure door control and flexible finish options that matched interior décor while supporting the building’s sustainability objectives. Their hardware contributed to Dominican Hall’s overall green performance and dependable operation in a high‑use residence — an effort that helped Edgewood achieve its LEED Silver certification, the first college/university residence in Wisconsin to do so.
