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

The old City Hall East may look like a vacant fortress looming over Ponce de Leon Avenue, but the developer already has crews working to resuscitate its 2 million square feet with the goal of reusing or recycling all of its parts. Daniel Castro, a professor of building construction at Georgia Tech, said green projects are becoming more prevalent around the country, but there still aren't many financial incentives for recycling the building. However, more companies have been practicing "deconstruction" rather than simply knocking buildings down, he said.
