The Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center (GEHC) is a hands-on science learning center dedicated to increasing appreciation and understanding of water resources in Gwinnett County, a suburb of Atlanta. The center challenges children as well as adults to explore the impact that water has had on their everyday lives as well as future water management challenges. It is the county’s first green building–and it features what might well be the largest sloped green roof in the United States. Embodying the principles of conservation, the GEHC is projected to use 75 percent less potable water and 35 percent less energy than a conventional building of the same size.
