Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center

The Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center (GEHC) became the first building in Gwinnett County to receive a Gold Certi­fication for LEED, a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. The GEHC explores the impact of water on our history and everyday lives and the water management challenges we face in the future. The 59,000-square-foot demon­stration building includes community meeting spaces, class­rooms, historical displays, and a hands-on learning lab for children.
