Since the completion date of The Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design is approaching, Georgia Tech students, staff, and faculty are called upon to present their lecture, meeting, or event in one of the most ground-breaking and sustainable buildings in the Southeast.

Georgia Tech aims to build and run The Kendeda Building to the Living Building Challenge certification standard, the world’s most scrupulous sustainable design and performance standard for buildings. Therefore, The Kendeda Building will conform to the stringent construction guidelines and also operating procedures. This involves yielding energy more than it uses on-site through renewable sources, as well as obtaining, treating, and reusing water more than it requires annually.
We are excited to showcase The Kendeda Building to the campus community. By design, it will necessitate that we think differently about how to occupy and use a building. It’s an educational process for us all.
Shan Arora, Director, The Kendeda Building
At this time, The Kendeda Building is open for bookings from October 28th to December 19th, 2019. Rooms available for reservation include a 170-person auditorium, conference room, three classrooms, and four class labrooms. Georgia Tech students, staff, and faculty will be given the priority in making reservations until April 19th, when space in The Kendeda Building will be made available to the wider community.
