Georgia Institute of Technology, The Kendeda Building for Sustainable Design
Skanska built this 36,978-SF fully certified Living Building Challenge v3.1 project on the Georgia Institute of Technology campus. This project is a sustainability-focused facility supporting Georgia Tech's overarching goal to demonstrate a viable net-positive "urban" sustainable building in the Southeast. The facility, designed by the team of Lord Aeck Sargent and the Miller Hull Partnership, supports a dynamic education experience, a robust research platform and a public forum for community outreach.
The project incorporates ambitious sustainability strategies such as:
- A salvaged item incorporated for every 500 square meters of building GSF
- No red-list materials
- A 12-month measurement period to measure actual performance
- The facility will generate at least 105% of the energy that it uses
- Rainwater collection to potable standards on site
- Composting toilets
- Urban agriculture
