The $138-million Johns Creek Environmental Campus on the Chattahoochee River in Roswell, Ga., employs membrane-bioreactor technology to treat wastewater to levels suitable for reuse water distribution.
Archer Western Contractors built the 15-million-gallon-per-day, completely enclosed plant, which features architectural elements giving it the appearance of a historic mill complex. The design addressed the typical opposition to a wastewater plant being built in the community. The site includes a new shared-use park and interpretive natural trail system, including a covered bridge, cascading stream and pond.
