A Model for Environmental Stewardship
A Naturally Harmonious Community
Rowen is committed to environmental stewardship, creating a campus where natural beauty, clean energy experts and sustainable innovation converge. With zero-emission strategies at its core, Rowen sets new global benchmarks for responsible development.
Designed as a living laboratory, the campus integrates seamlessly with the land’s natural contours, preserving open spaces, saving the shady limbs of 100 year old oaks and hickories and installing 100 percent native plantings. This thoughtful approach fosters a harmonious relationship between life and design, where nature’s harmony and artistic inspiration drive world changing innovations.
Cultural Resources Study
In partnership with the University of Georgia, Rowen has identified historically and environmentally significant areas for protection which it has incorporated into its long-term design plan and strategy.
