This project involved the renovation and adaptive reuse of a building previously operating as a church and school building. Global Village Project is a non-profit middle school dedicated to educating refugee girls from all around the world. The program called for a school that engages a diverse group of students, supports education by meeting the students where they are as well as empowering young women to leave the school educated and prepared to reach their full potential. By strategically weaving together support spaces, creative spaces, performance and communal spaces as well as traditional classrooms and break-out areas for one to one learning with teachers and volunteers, the renovated school is enlivened with a positive energy that matches Global Village Project's vision.

This project involved the renovation and adaptive reuse of a building previously operating as a church and activity building. The program calls for the first phase in a new charter school serving students Kindergarten through 3rd grade. The design concept was driven by modifications to the existing 1940's era building which showcased the simplicity of the structure. CMU walls, steel tube columns, and generous industrial style glazing provide the interior spaces with beautiful light, clear sight lines and a layout that is very familiar for young students to navigate. By using strategic accent colors on the ceilings throughout all classrooms the spaces within the school are enlivened with a positive energy.

The project re-configures a two-story office building into a preschool. The schematic plans are designed according to Reggio principles which is a pedagogy described as student-centered and constructivist that utilizes self-directed, experimental learning in relationship-driven environments.

This project was a new 2 story addition to an existing counseling center located in the Emory / Druid Hills Neighborhood of Atlanta. CCCG has been serving the community for over 50 years and offers a variety of counseling services for individuals, couples, and families. The new addition provided more offices, counseling suites, and support space for this valuable organization.
