Georgia State’s Indian Creek Lodge receives green certification

Georgia State University’s Indian Creek Lodge in DeKalb County was awarded a Leadership in Energy and Environment Design certification.

The lodge, within a 15.5-acre recreational area is used for group meetings and retreats, and is Georgia State’s first project to achieve the LEED certification. The facility’s sustainable features include high-energy water fixtures, preservation of more than 77 percent of the project for open space and bicycle storage and changing areas for bicycle commuters.

Georgia State’s new law school, which is currently under construction, is also expected to be LEED certified.
