GUND helped to re-establish a strong image for the institution which is located prominently just outside Atlanta, Georgia. Our design solution reflects the civic architecture indigenous to the South, with three very different elevations which relate to the diverse edge conditions of the site. Approached from a long, processional drive, the entrance elevation has a more formal, symmetrical facade. The north elevation responds to the free form of the adjacent forest and features a distinctly different, more irregular elevation. The south elevation is broken down into the scale of neighboring residential buildings across an open space.
