Water Innovation Center

Millions of people depend on Lake Lanier and the Chattahoochee River to provide the water they use every day. Gwinnett County alone is projected to have a population of 1.5 million by 2040. The main limiting factor to that growth will not be space—it will be the availability of water.

The Water Tower, working with dozens of partners, including research groups, universities, and international associations, was conceived to guide policy makers and become an international destination for water research. The Tower will research and develop innovative technologies to find, clean, and reuse water. It will also play a key role in workforce training and sharing the impact, significance, and economic benefits of those new technologies with the public.

When complete, the campus will include state-of-the-art research laboratories, indoor and outdoor classrooms, conference space, and an atrium with exhibit space and office space for water entrepreneurs and businesses.
