Going Green

The Classic Center Green Information

Energy Efficiency


Energy efficiency is energy audits conducted by Georgia Power, LED interior and exterior lighting throughout the facility with occupancy sensor lighting controls, building climate control systems programmed hourly based on occupancy, and solar harvesting. Check out our real-time solar harvesting data here. 

Urban Location


Urban area location planned to encourage pedestrian access to retail, entertainment, lodging, and restaurants, and to provide alternative transportation choices over automobiles.

Monitoring Indoor Air Quality


We have a 100% smoke free facility, through the use of pleated air filters with regular replacement, and energy saving heat recovery units for fresh air capture.

Tree Canopy


Tree Canopy is a facility property established with dozens of mature trees within the landscape design contributing to the reduction of carbon dioxide pollutants, storm water run-off control and soil infiltration, and providing a pleasing sense of space and place.
