MEET A PEACHTREE CENTER TEAM MEMBERRHODA CAMBELL If you want to make sure something gets done and gets done promptly, you can rely on Rhoda Cambell. Rhoda has worked at Peachtree Center since 1991. Now under Executive Management Services (EMS), Rhoda is the Director of Housekeeping managing the mall and the courtyard. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, she moved to Atlanta to join relatives and attended GA State. Rhoda spends her mornings and afternoons at Peachtree Center and works evenings at Clark Atlanta University. Her favorite part of working at Peachtree Center is meeting the different tenants and people from all the different conventions. Rhoda values the friendliness and hospitality of Atlanta; however, she could live without the heat! Rhoda and her husband are proud members of their church, Belula Baptist Church, and focus their time on community service.
BETTER BUILDING CHALLENGEPeachtree Center is taking the Better Buildings Challenge! The Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge began with buildings in the Downtown Central Business District including the
Atlanta Civic Center and other municipal facilities. The goal of the challenge is to improve participating buildings’ energy and water performance to add to the goal of helping businesses overall to save $40 billion annually in energy costs, ultimately creating more American jobs. Atlanta is proud to be one of the first cities to take the challenge alongside Seattle and Los Angeles, and Peachtree Center is thrilled to participate.
STREETSCAPECentral Atlanta Progress and the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District are pleased to announce that construction began the week of March 12, 2012 on the planned streetscape improvement project along Peachtree Street between John Portman Blvd aka Historic Harris Street and Andrew Young International. The project will install in-ground and above ground planters, decorative fencing, trees, landscaping and repair any damaged sidewalk areas. Funding for this project is provided by the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District.
