The Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design Adapts to the ‘New Normal’

Architizer Editors Architizer Editors

Located in the heart of Atlanta, the Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design at Georgia Tech was created to foster environmental education, research, and a public forum for community outreach. Designed by the collaboration of The Miller Hull Partnership, LLP and Lord Aeck Sargent, a Katerra Company (LAS), The Kendeda Building achieved full Living Building Certification in 2021 after proving its net positive energy and water performance during its year-long occupancy period.

In this video, professors, students and citizens are asked about how Georgia Tech should move forward in light of the COVID pandemic and what the “new normal” should be for communal buildings like the Kendeda Building.
