No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The Georgia Tech community is invited to join the International Living Future Institute for “Net Positive Atlanta: Subtropical Solutions” – focused on the success stories of pioneering Living Building Challenge project teams as they pursue the world’s most rigorous green building standard in this hot and humid climate.
Achieving Living Buildings in the subtropics calls for inspired, regionally-appropriate design and engineering. Project team members from Georgia Tech’s own The Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design and Alabama’s Gulf State Park Interpretive Center will be on hand to highlight unique net positive water and net positive energy solutions.
Speakers from Georgia Tech include:
Drew Cutright
Program Manager, Georgia Institute of Technology
Chris Burke
Director of Community Relations, Georgia Tech Office of Government and Community Relations
Jennifer Hirsch
Director of Center for Serve-Learn-Sustain, Georgia Institute of Technology
Atira Rochester
