Who we are

  • 1.  virtual building visit:

    Posted 04-20-2020 10:41 AM

    Looking for a way to honor Earth Day next week? Why not a virtual building visit? I just received this from the good folks at the Kendeda Building on the Georgia Tech Campus. Here's what they are offering: 

    We've developed an interactive "virtual visit" tool that allows you and your network to gain a better understanding of The Kendeda Building. We're also on social media! If it fits into your correspondence, then I'd appreciate it if you could share this info with the group that attended the event at The Kendeda Building last Fall.

     

    Virtual visits at http://www.livingbuilding.gatech.edu. There are three views and over 30 hot spots. When users click onto a hot spot, they see brief text about the topic as well as pictures and in some cases, video. This interactive tool allows for users to virtually visit the building.
