Largely piped underground from Cox Hall to the Peavine Parking Deck, the Henry Hornbostel Creek is one of four named streams on the Druid Hills campus. It is named for Henry Hornbostel, the architect who laid out the original Druid Hills campus master plan.

Lullwater Preserve is Emory’s largest and most pristine greenspace, serving as a natural recreational space for students, faculty, and other Emory community members to play, exercise, or spend time with friends and family. Purchased from the Candler family in 1962, Lullwater Preserve serves as a testament to Emory’s commitment to environment preservation–throughout the past half century Emory has intervened on multiple occasions when other parties pushed for development of Lullwater. Lullwater boasts environmental diversity, with an impressive spread of native white oaks, poplars, pines, sweet gums, hickories, and beeches. The preservation of this forest has allowed for the re-establishment of large mammals such as the white-tailed deer in the Decatur/Atlanta area, and also serves as an experiment grounds for Emory’s biology and environmental science classes.

Hahn Woods was named in 1993 for T. Marshall Hahn Jr., an Emory trustee and then-CEO of Georgia-Pacific. With the help of Georgia-Pacific, Emory reclaimed these 4.7-acres from a landfill. The woods are part of a 60 acre parcel Emory acquired in 1960, which included the Houson Mill House. In 2015 Trees Atlanta instigated a project that focused on restoring the health of Hahn Woods by removing invasive species and replanting native vegetation, particularly in two acres of the woods which serve as a key connection point of the area watershed.

On the Oxford campus, in 1978, biology professor Curry T. Haynes Sr. carved out a nature trail on the west side of the campus, winding from Williams Gym past the soldiers’ cemetery and into the woods between the cemetery and the dining hall.

The green roof in Complex Freshman Residential Center sits between Hopkins and Smith halls, and was established in 2015 through an OSI Sustainability Incentives Fund grant. In addition to drought-tolerant plants and native species, this green roof boasts lights, outdoor furniture, water fountains, and electrical outlets. The goal was to design a green space that improved energy efficiency and also cultivated a space for students to study or spend leisure time. Emory works to encourage connections between nature and its community in its cultivation of its green spaces, and this green roof serves as just one example of Emory’s commitment to forging environmental relationships.

The green roof installed along the walkway by Facilities & Maintenance Building B was one of the first installed on Emory’s campus. This green roof serves as an experimental demonstration plot, with slightly different types of bedding and soils in each planting tray in order for students to make scientific comparisons.

Longstreet-Means Freshman Residential Hall, which opened in the Fall of 2010, incorporated many green aspects into its design in order to achieve its LEED Gold Certification. One of these green features was a miniature green roof, which lines the windows on the Eastern wall of the third floor. On the other side of the building, another narrow bed of plants have also found a home on a different roof outcropping. The majority of the plants here were not artificially planted, but instead native species, whose spores and seeds landed on these patches of soil.

The first green roof on Emory’s campus, the green garden topping the Mathematics & Science Center was originally installed in October 2008. The project was part of a student-led pilot study exploring the benefits of green roofs, but in the past decade had fallen into disrepair. The green roof was revived in 2016 by former Emory student Rebecca Park, who had a particular interest in green infrastructure. The MSC green roof now boasts more than 500 native plants–primarily specimens of drought-tolerant sedum and delosperma–and is cared for by students in the environmental sciences department.

The James W. Wagner Quadrangle, a green space among the residence halls of the Freshman Village, is a vegetated green roof for the partking deck below.

Emory’s WaterHub is the first water reclamation facility of its kind in the nation. The solar panels adjacent to the facility provide a portion of the energy required to run the facility, and serve as a demonstration of solar technology on the ground, making solar panels more visible for students and visible than those on Emory’s rooftops.

Emory installed its first rooftop solar panels in the summer of 2015 through participation in Georgia Power’s Advanced Solar Initiative. The North Decatur Building rooftop panels were installed at the same time as the 1762 Clifton Road rooftop panels, which together generate 265 kWh of energy. Solar is one strategy for achieving Emory’s goals of 45% GHG emissions reductions by 2030, and carbon neutrality by 2050.

A system of 400-foot deep geothermal wells dug into McDonough Field provide some 700 tons of heating/cooling capacity to the Emory Student Center.

Cox Hall serves as a major dining hall, study center, and recreational space for Emory students and staff alike, and–as of summer 2015–boasts two solar-powered charging stations as well. Students can charge up to three electronic devices at a time at these solar-powered charging stations using a USB plug-in. These stations serve to bring renewable energy awareness to Emory students and thus cultivate a more environmentally conscious atmosphere on campus.

Emory’s Law School houses solar-powered charging stations students, staff and faculty are able use to charge their electronic devices via USB plug-in at these stations located in the courtyard. These stations help reduce Emory’s consumption of nonrenewable energy and signifies Emory’s commitment to sustainability in all of its schools and campuses.

Another solar-powered charging station has been installed on Emory’s Oxford campus, allowing Oxford students to utilize renewable energy in order to recharge their electronic devices.

COMING SOON: The EmTech Library Service Center, created in collaboration between Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology, opened its doors in March 2016 and soon will have solar panels installed atop its roof. The Library Service Center was built to house a shared collection amassing millions of books and other materials , with the goal of making these materials seamlessly available to faculty, staff, and students at both Emory and Georgia Tech. This joint project marks the latest chapter in a longstanding public-private partnership between the ATlanta-based institutions and offers advantages for both universities. The solar panels that will top this building will help mitigate the building’s energy use while advancing both universities’ missions of increased sustainability and environmental awareness.

Convocation Hall was formerly the Pitts Theology Library and served as the primary chapel of Emory University. In 1969, it also doubled as the staging ground for one of Emory’s most significant student activism forums–the Black Student Alliance gathered in the chapel that year to address students, faculty, and administrators regarding racial injustices that they felt were still prevalent on Emory’s campus. The BSA marched from the chapel to Cox Hall, kicking off a four day protest that ended with a presentation to Emory Administration of a list of demands which were intended to promote greater equality and diversity on Emory’s campus. This ultimately led to the creation of the African-American Studies program and the hiring of the first African-American administrator.

Bowden Hall is named for Henry Bowden, who served as the Chairman on Emory’s Board of Trustees in the mid-1900s. In 1962 Henry Bowden worked with Dean of Emory Law School Ben Johnson Jr. to win a landmark declaratory statement from the Supreme Court of Georgia which allowed Emory to integrate racially without losing its tax-free status.

The WaterHub is an on-site water recycling system on the Emory University campus which utilizes eco-engineering processes to clean waste water for future non-potable uses. It is the first system of its kind to be installed in the United States. Emory’s WaterHub is capable of recycling over 400,000 gallons-per-day –nearly 40% of Emory’s total campus water needs.

Water conservation and reclamation are cornerstones of Emory’s water stewardship. These efforts contribute to achieving some of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.

With the renovation of Emory Hospital in 2014, Emory Healthcare incorporated several bioswales into the physical redesign of its buildings, including a bioswale near the Emory University Hospital Valet. By placing bioswales in areas that are likely to produce more highly polluted stormwater, Emory works to mitigate the effects of pollution where they are most directly felt.

Solar power is used to pump rainwater from a cistern into dual-flush toilets.

Raoul is Emory’s newest freshman residence hall and proudly boasts many green features–including a bioswale by its entrance to the Office of Residential Life and Housing–which contributes to its LEED Gold Certification. Having sustainable stormwater drainage systems is crucial on Emory’s Atlanta campus, which is hilly and as such floods rather easily.

Longstreet-Means Freshman Residential Hall, which opened in the Fall of 2010, incorporated many green aspects into its design in order to achieve its LEED Gold Certification. One of these green features was a miniature green roof, which lines the windows on the Eastern wall of the third floor. On the other side of the building, another narrow bed of plants have also found a home on a different roof outcropping. The majority of the plants here were not artificially planted, but instead native species, whose spores and seeds landed on these patches of soil.

Woodruff Circle serves as a commuter hub for faculty, students, and Emory Healthcare employees alike for travel in and around Emory’s campus. With dozens of shuttles making daily stops at this circle, it was crucial that Emory incorporated sustainable runoff drainage systems in into the hub’s redesign. With Woodruff Circle Hub’s 2014 renovation, a bioswale was added to sustainably and naturally treat urban stormwater run-off.

The green roof in Complex Freshman Residential Center sits between Hopkins and Smith halls, and was established in 2015 through an OSI Sustainability Incentives Fund grant. In addition to drought-tolerant plants and native species, this green roof boasts lights, outdoor furniture, water fountains, and electrical outlets. The goal was to design a green space that improved energy efficiency and also cultivated a space for students to study or spend leisure time.

The MSC green roof now boasts more than 500 native plants–primarily specimens of drought-tolerant sedum and delosperma–and is cared for by students in the environmental sciences department.

Emory’s Psychology and Interdisciplinary Sciences Building(PAIS) was completed in 2009 and included a bioswale in its courtyard as a part of its green design. This integrated “green” feature contributed to the PAIS Building receiving its LEED Gold Certification.

With Emory’s renovation of its hospital and health buildings in 2014, Emory Healthcare incorporated bioswales into the physical redesign of many buildings, including the Woodruff Health Sciences Administration Building. There is a bioswale incorporated into the drop-off area near this building in order to directly treat polluted water runoff from heavy traffic in this area.
