The greenest buildings of 2011
 CNN spans the globe and picks the top 12 green projects of 2011. Lake Flato's Livestrong Foundation Headquarters was honored as one of the projects selected.
"This 1950s-era warehouse, which previously had no windows, was "adaptively reused" by Lake|Flato Architects and transformed into a LEED Gold-certified building.

As part of the changes, the workers put windows in the roof that harvest Texas' ample daylight for the main workspace."
