GRESHAM, Ore. — American Honda opened its “green” facility, a 212,888-square-foot warehouse, training center and zone office, designed and constructed with recycled, recyclable and sustainable building materials. American Honda's Northwest Regional Facility, which will supply Honda parts to nine Western states, uses environmentally friendly products in virtually every aspect of the building's design, construction and operation — from its lighting, heating, flooring and landscaping.

The facility was opened at a ceremony attended by local elected officials, members of Oregon's environmental community, American Honda senior executives and other guests.
