Classes Officially Start at Georgia Tech’s Ultra-Green Kendeda Building
Taking inspiration from the Bullitt Center in Seattle, donor and founder of the Kendeda Fund Diana Blank brought the idea for a living building to the Georgia Tech campus. The resulting Kendeda Building opened for classes in January 2020, providing a both a great center for learning and a template for innovative sustainable design.
According to the Georgia Tech website, the project cost “approximately $397 per square foot based on total programmed space. Cost of conditioned space is expected to be $503 per square feet.” With a total cost of $30 million received from the private Kendeda Fund, the Kendeda Building stands as an example of what sustainable design should look like in 2020, and it also offers endless potential for the future. This achievement will only be reaffirmed when the building becomes the first Living Building Challenge-certified facility of its size and function in the Southeast United States, which it expects to earn following one complete year of functional occupancy.
