 A host of green features and an environmentally focused curriculum are just a couple of reasons why the new Arabia Mountain High School in DeKalb County, Ga., is expected to achieve LEED silver certification when it opens in January 2009.
Using sustainable design elements, such as daylighting in classrooms, low-flow plumbing fixtures and energy-efficient HVAC systems, the school could be the first LEED-certified school in the state. Read about it in our top Green Scene story this month.
