北卡州环境质量厅Raleigh里迪溪新园区启用 实验室与区域办公室合署
位于北卡罗来纳州韦克县的Raleigh市，北卡罗来纳州环境质量厅（DEQ）位于Raleigh西区的里迪溪（Reedy Creek）新园区本周正式启用。该厅于10月15日在Raleigh市里迪溪路4407号举行剪彩仪式，新园区将容纳该厅实验室人员、Raleigh区域办公室人员，并设有一间可用于举行公开会议的培训与听证室，今秋起对外开放。
新园区包括一栋3.6万平方英尺的新建筑和5.1万平方英尺的实验室翻新空间，内设一间可容纳154人的多功能听证室。园区获得「绿色地球」（Green Globes）认证，配备节能墙体与窗户、去污染屋面系统、高效暖通设备、可持续建材和原生植物花园，屋顶太阳能板可满足园区33%的用电需求。
该项目于2025年2月破土动工，此前该址仅驻有空气质量与水资源两个处室的人员。环境质量厅厅长里德·威尔逊在剪彩仪式上表示，新设施将推进该厅守护全州空气、水、土地与公共健康的工作，改善后的实验室空间也体现了该厅以科学为决策基础的承诺。
剪彩仪式上，DEQ设施健康与安全主任托德·史蒂文斯与设计方H&H Architects、承建方Skanska USA的代表也一同出席。
North Carolina Environmental Quality Department Opens New Reedy Creek Campus in Raleigh
Raleigh is a city in Wake County, North Carolina. North Carolina's Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) officially opened its new Reedy Creek campus in West Raleigh this week, holding a ribbon-cutting on Oct. 15 at 4407 Reedy Creek Road. The campus will house the department's laboratory staff and Raleigh Regional Office staff, along with a training and hearing room that will host public meetings beginning this fall. The project adds a new 36,000-square-foot building and 51,000 square feet of renovated laboratory space, including a 154-capacity multipurpose hearing room. The campus is Green Globes certified and features energy-efficient walls and windows, a depolluting roofing system, high-efficiency HVAC systems, sustainable building materials and a native plant garden; rooftop solar panels will provide 33 percent of the building's electricity. DEQ broke ground on the renovation and expansion project in February 2025; the site previously housed only staff from the Divisions of Air Quality and Water Resources. 'These new state-of-the-art facilities will advance DEQ's work to safeguard North Carolina's air, water, land and public health,' DEQ Secretary Reid Wilson said at the opening.
DEQ Director of Facilities, Health and Safety Todd Stevens also joined the ribbon cutting, along with representatives of design firm H&H Architects and builder Skanska USA.
