Emory Conference Center Expansion

Overview

The Emory Conference Center Hotel added 127 new guest rooms and 6,000 square feet of meeting space, and was built to the standards of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) silver, as designated by the U.S. Green Building Council. It became the first LEED-certified conference center/hotel in the city of Atlanta.

The addition also offers a six-lane bowling alley, Wisteria Lanes, with retro décor, full bar, and game room, complete with Nintendo Wii bowling. Several outdoor patio areas are being added, including one with a fire pit.

Extensive renovations on the indoor pool, health club, dining room, and kitchen in the existing building are nearing completion. The Club Room has been converted into a Wright-styled bar and restaurant. The goal is LEED status for the entire complex, which requires construction waste minimization, water and energy efficiency, hazardous substances handling, and sustainable purchasing.
