Georgia State University’s Student Recreation Center was recently certified using the Green Globes green building rating system for Continual Improvement of Existing Buildings (CIEB). A first for the Georgia State campus, Green Globes is a revolutionary green building guidance and assessment program that offers an effective, practical and affordable way to advance the overall environmental performance and sustainability of commercial buildings.
The Student Recreation Center is the first existing recreation center in the country to receive Green Globes certification; the first higher education facility in the State of Georgia; and the fifth Green Globes certified project in the State of Georgia. Our building received three out of four possible Globes in the rating system.
