Green buildings are designed and operated to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment. Carmike Cinemas' first LEED Certified theatre, Majestic 12, offers a healthier environment for movie goers while leaving a smaller carbon footprint in Chattanooga's downtown. Low VOC paints, carpet, and glues were chosen for the theatre. During construction 90% of project waste was diverted from landfills, this added up to more than 1400 tons.
