Living Building: Northwest View 
Living Building InteriorAs the completion date of The Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design (KBISD) nears, Georgia Tech students, faculty, and staff are invited to host their lecture, meeting, or event in one of the most innovative and sustainable buildings in the Southeast.
Georgia Tech seeks to construct and operate the KBISD to the Living Building Challenge (LBC) certification standard, the world’s most rigorous sustainable design and performance standard for buildings. To meet LBC requirements, the KBISD will abide by strict construction guidelines as well as operating procedures. For example, the building must produce more energy than it uses on site through renewable sources, as well as collect, treat, and reuse more water than it needs on an annual basis.
At this time, the KBISD is available for reservations from October 28 to December 19, 2019. Rooms available for booking include an auditorium, conference room, three classrooms, and four class lab rooms. Georgia Tech students, faculty, and staff will receive priority in making reservations until April 19, after which space in the KBISD will be open to the broader community.
