Green Infrastructure Activities at the Atlanta University Center

with the leadership at several AUC schools and the Atlanta Housing Authority to create concepts of green spaces on their properties. ECO-Action is working to advance the recommendations for these conceptual plans by:

Coordinating with the leadership at Clark Atlanta University, Morris Brown College, Spelman College, and the Atlanta Housing Authority to advance green infrastructure construction on their properties. Collaborating with Engineers without Borders to advance project implementation at both the AUC schools and the Castleberry 1 & 2 Village Communities. Seeking funding to support the final design and construction of the proposed projects. Working with Earth Economics to monetize the value of stormwater resources and green infrastructure services at the AUC.

Between September 2015 and June 2016, student teams worked to complete conceptual plans at Clark Atlanta University, the Interdenominational Theological Center, Morris Brown College, Spelman College and adjacent properties that drain onto the campuses as well as the Atlanta Housing Authority site. Links to the nine conceptual plans as well as to the accompanying Conceptual Plan Summary are provided below:

A map which visually locates the greenways, cisterns and detention vaults identified by the Conceptual Plans, was created in February 2017.
