    Zoo Atlanta's Zambezi Elephant Center and Savanna Hall Awarded

    Zoo Atlanta’s Zambezi Elephant Center and Savanna Hall Awarded LEED Gold ATLANTA, July 7, 2020 — Helping to cap the most ambitious expansion in Zoo Atlanta’s history, both the Zambezi Elephant Center and Savanna Hall Renovation have officially earned LEED Gold certification. Administered by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) program recognizes buildings across the world for design and construction geared toward conservation of resources and environmental health. At Zambezi Elephant Center, Epsten Group teamed up with the construction team at Winter Johnson Group to provide the elephants with a new home focused on optimal animal welfare while also providing a healthy environment for Elephant Care Team members and visitors. The care quarters maximize natural daylight for elephants and staff alike through the installation of glass roll-up doors and a translucent fiberglass clerestory. Through conscientious design and construction techniques, the building also balances the durability needed for the home of megafauna that can reach 13-feet in height and over 6 tons in weight and the energy performance standards of human-scaled buildings. Together with efficient LED lighting, building mechanical systems, and life-support filtration systems for the adjacent habitat’s waterfalls and pools, Zambezi Elephant Center was able to achieve a 16.9% energy cost savings relative to the standard baseline building. Savanna Hall is the embodiment of the adage that the greenest building is often the one that is already standing. By conserving 96% of the existing historic Cyclorama structure, the design and construction team was able to avoid many of the negative environmental impacts associated with construction of a brand-new facility.

    1 FREQUENT SMALL MEALS presents CIVIL RIGHTS ON FILM Rare films on African‐American life, 1941‐1967 curated by Andy Ditzler filming Black Natchez, 1965 courtesy Ed Pincus Co‐sponsored by the following departments at Emory University: the Studies in Sexualities Initiative, the James Weldon Johnson Institute, the Department of Film Studies, and the Office of LGBT Life Government training films, cinéma vérité documentaries, itinerant and ephemeral films, network news reports, activist film, and the avant‐garde: the explosion of moving image forms in the mid‐twentieth century was a prism through which the complexity of African‐American life was shown. New ways of documentary filmmaking coincided with the spectacular growth of the Civil Rights movement, documenting the movement with unprecedented intimacy. And by the late 1960s, image‐conscious subcultures and political identities were foreshadowed in the way documentary began to challenge notions of cinematic truth. “Civil Rights on Film” captures this movement with a series of rare and important moving image works, all made between 1941 and 1967. 2 PROGRAM 1: LIFE, WORK, AND SEGREGATION IN THE SOUTH All My Babies (George Stoney, 1952) 16mm, 54 minutes Movies of Local People: Kannapolis (H.

It documents the extraordinary working life of Mary Francis Hill Coley, an African‐American midwife from Albany, Georgia.
