Building Veneer Retaining Walls Act As Flood Barrier

Sustainable Innovation

The Providence Campus for Dassault Systèmes is the headquarters of the 3DS SIMULIA Brand. Simulation software, such as the Apps offered by SIMULIA, is a key to Sustainable Innovation for its customers.

Dassault Systèmes implemented sustainability objectives to reduce its environmental impacts related to building and energy performance. Dassault strives to move into high efficient energy performance buildings by preferring green building certification, especially LEED.

The campus is surrounded by LEED-Compliant natural Boston Blend Building Veneer from Stoneyard on retaining walls designed to act as flood barriers with built-in water-retention gates.
