We're excited to see the Atlanta community's strong support for the project and are looking forward to broadening our outreach efforts. More information to follow soon relative to our impending fundraising campaign on Crowdrise; in the meantime, please keep an eye out for LBC news on our website at http://www.lifecyclebuildingcenter.org/.
A LIFECYCLE BUILDING CENTER (LBC) is a community-based warehouse facility which assists the general public by identifying and implementing best practice green building-related concepts. The LBC addresses all lifecycle phases of the built environment – planning, design, construction, use, adaptation, renovation and demolition. The heart of the LBC concept is the creation of a large-scale used building material facility that sells collected material to the general public in lieu of disposal.

A visioning charrette for the Lifecycle Building Center project was held on June 28th at Perkins+Will's Atlanta office in order to begin exploring ideas for the use of a potential facility location on Murphy Avenue. Attendees included representatives from Perkins+Will, Skanska, Southface, Newcomb & Boyd, Walter P Moore, Gateway Civil Engineering, LaFarge, EPA Region 4 & GA Dept. of Natural Resources. In addition to reviewing the facility and discussing code issues, the group also discussed strategies and information related to pursuing the Living Building Challenge for the project.
