Chatman is on a personal and professional mission to reduce paper usage — and that’s above and beyond her dedication to Georgia Tech’s green cleaning program.

Several projects were completed over the summer, while a few continue into the fall.

For a third consecutive year, Georgia Tech is getting the help of woolly, four-legged friends to help control one of the most invasive plants in the South — the dreaded kudzu.

Today, the fences around Tech Green are being removed, and the campus community will be able to once again enjoy this central green space — just in time for Homecoming Weekend.

The PATH Foundation, with whom Tech is partnering on the project, has stated that construction will result in vehicle traffic changes beginning Tuesday, Nov. 8, at noon.

In an effort to conserve water and help reduce the impact of the severe drought conditions in North Georgia, Facilities Management’s Landscape Services has proactively stopped all noncritical irrigation on campus. 

Earlier this year, the Student Move-Out Recycling Program evolved to not only collect recyclable waste and donations, but also help feed hungry students. 

This semester, projects include infrastructure upgrades, new buildings, and a facility that is on the national radar for its net-positive energy use.

Tech earned recognition as a Tree Campus USA for 2016 from the Arbor Day Foundation.

Look for construction to wrap up on a few long-term projects, for short-term projects to take shape, and for some new long-term work to begin.
