There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. 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

Débora Mesa teaches with the school of Architecture. Her studio class, Material Diversions, tasks students to look at unique materials to create new ideas for building structures. The idea being what would happen if these materials could be given a second life, not only to be kept out of landfills, but to contribute to creating useful buildings or gathering places. The class could work individually or in groups and explored a wide range of materials from plastic grocery bags to tires and many things in between. To see their work, visit the Earth Day website.
