Wofford College put in a new science building and remodeled parts of the old one recently.  It's a bit smaller than what you describe, but you might contact their new dean.

Thanks, I'll do that....

Another recent building that is LEED certified:

It's currently one of two science buildings in use at the institution.

Ashland University (Ohio) just completed a major renovation of their science building in 2006.

Since y'all are helping me out, let me add a couple of others:

Seattle Pacific University (spu.edu, unfortunately for them) has a building that's been open about 3 years, is LEED certified, and has won several awards

Tacoma Community College has a brand new one that's LEED gold, and is truly spectacular.  The views of Mt. Ranier from the lounges are quite something.

Harned Hall is a new addition at the University of Puget Sound, is probably eligible for LEED but doesn't have it due to the cost of the paperwork, and is a really interesting addition to the traditional building there; it makes the fourth side of a courtyard.  Like Berry, it has a nice Foucault Pendulum.

Buena Vista University in Iowa has a nice new building, not LEED but with a variety of really interesting features.

I've been at work on this search for awhile, and we've visited a number of these places.  If you're planning a building, I highly recommend going to look at analogous facilities to steal ideas and avoid snafus.

Thanks everyone, aands.
