Letter to the Woodruff Arts Center Community
Welcome to the Woodruff Arts Center Green website. We are pleased to announce we are continuing our campus green roof initiatives with the addition of a new vegetative roof atop the dorm building located at 15th Street and Art Center Way. With the addition of the Dorm Building and last year’s addition of the High Museum of Art’s Bunzl Building our total square footage amounts to 12,000 sq ft of vegetative roofing. This project was funded with the generous support of the Community Foundation of Atlanta (Kendeda Foundation) GA Dept of Environmental Resource/City of Atlanta Watershed Management, John Portman & the Weston Corporation.
We currently have two exciting energy projects recently completed in winter 2008. The High Museum of Art’s Conservatory Lab energy reduction project and the Woodruff Arts Center garage lighting retrofit. These two “Grants to Green” projects were funded with the support and assistance of the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta.
An update on our Energy Star Program partnership with the EPA, our alternative transportation options, our recycling efforts, and a snapshot of our carbon profile improvements are discussed under WAC Footprint.
