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

With Emory and Georgia Tech leading the way, the state's schools are serious about getting greener and, in the process, are helping develop energy-saving innovations and conservation consciousness among students that are likely to pay off for the Peach State as a whole in the future. Marcia Kinstler, director of environmental stewardship, says Tech uses about half as much energy as other large research universities, which typically consume twice as much juice as a standard liberal-arts college.
