The vision of the project is to create an updated and unified Theology Village in this campus precinct. This concept relocates the entire Pitts Library to a new facility and unifies the library with new faculty offices, classrooms, and support spaces.

Emory University's goal for the project is LEED Silver certification. Sustainable projects such as Candler School of Theology coordinate with Emory's campus-wide strategies which include preservation of green space and maximizing recycling opportunities. These actions support Emory's mandate to reduce the University’s average campus energy use by 25 percent per square foot by 2015, and reducing the University’s greenhouse gas emissions.
