Visitor’s Center and Museum

Sweetwater Creek State Park

Sweetwater Creek State Park is a 2,500-acre conservation area located in Lithia Springs, Georgia, just outside Atlanta. Completed in the spring of 2006, the 8,000-square-foot Visitor’s Center and Museum--which achieved LEED Platinum certification--serves as a starting point for explorations of the park.

The building incorporates a number of resource-conserving features including Clivus Multrum composting toilets, greywater irrigation, a rainwater harvesting system, a “green” roof, and various energy-saving technologies. The visitor center was a “Top Pick” at the 2004 AIA Green Design Showcase.
