Georgia Tech Library Renewal Wins “Excellence in Sustainable Preservation” Award from the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation

PRAXIS3, in partnership with BNIM, recently received the “Excellence in Sustainable Preservation” award for the Georgia Tech Library Renewal during The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation’s 44th annual Preservation Awards ceremony at Macon’s Grand Opera House.

According to the Trust, awards for Excellence in Sustainable Rehabilitation recognize excellent rehabilitation projects that also incorporate appropriate conservation and sustainable treatments to lessen a building’s environmental impact while preserving significant features that convey its historic significance.

The Georgia Trust jury commented in support of the award, “Following its rehabilitation, the library is once again a state-of-the-art facility, serving an integral role in Georgia Tech’s core educational ecosystem.  The final design ultimately transformed a well-designed but inefficient building into a technology-rich, people-centered space at the heart of campus.
