	Lucasfilm: Pressroom \| Letterman Digital Arts Center Preview
		When the Letterman Hospital at the Presidio of San Francisco was demolished after standing vacant for more than 10 years, it didn't completely disappear.
		Not only did that make construction of the Letterman Digital Arts Center more efficient -- concrete-framed buildings were erected in just 12 months -- it also kept hundreds of thousands of tons of debris out of Bay Area landfills.
		Recycling the old construction materials was just one of the conservation efforts that will earn the Letterman Digital Arts Center a Gold Certified Rating from the U.S. Green Building Council for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), signifying some of the highest standards of sustainable development.

	Lucas finishes Presidio blueprint
		Construction of the $300 million complex, known as the Letterman Digital Arts Center, is expected to begin in two months, said Gordon Radley, president of Lucasfilm Ltd., as he unveiled the company's revised -- and final -- architectural plans on Thursday.
		The center, which will be in the eastern side of the former military post, is named after Maj. Jonathan Letterman, who pioneered mobile field hospitals and ambulance services for wounded soldiers during the Civil War.
		Radley described the center's landscaped grounds as "a park within a park" and said they were designed to be inviting.

		Outwardly at least, the Letterman center adapts the simplicity of much of the post's architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
		At the Letterman center, the water originates on one of two artificial promontories positioned along "view corridors," each of which aligns with Bernard Maybeck's 1915 Palace of Fine Arts.
		The Letterman Digital Arts Center retains a discreet but palpable division of public and private, and the success of this major endeavor will rest on how many locals and tourists frequent the plaza.
