Cliff Valley SchoolExpansion

After refi ning the campus’s existing master plan, Collins Cooper Carusi completed the design of two new buildings for The Cliff Valley School. Housing science, art, tutoring and general classrooms, the 13,550-SF, two-story classroom building is designed to aesthetically compliment an iconic image portrayed by the existing building.

The new 11,725-SF gymnatorium building is sited on the campus to form a courtyard that provides new athletic, music, theatrical and gallery spaces. The centerpiece of this facility is a new rooftop science classroom that connects to and enhances the school’s existing outdoor science program.

This project was designed as the fi rst small commercial building compliant under Southface’s new Earthcraft sustainable design initiative, which is comparable to LEED design principles.

St. Martin’s Episcopal School

The new middle school building at St. Martin’s Episcopal School in Atlanta provides much needed classrooms, science labs, and multipurpose space in a dedicated 40,800-SF, three-story building. The building is the cornerstone of an expansion program that allows the reconfi guration of existing buildings to optimally serve early childhood and elementary school levels, expand existing dining facilities, and provide a range of upgraded spaces that benefi t the entire school.

The building is designed to make the best use of a small, challenging site in the midst of an established residential neighborhood. A daylight basement level maximizes new program space within its footprint, with a below grade connection that allows new, larger locker rooms to accommodate the existing gymnasium. An appropriately scaled and modulated façade is presented to the adjacent neighbors. Internally, the multipurpose space is expressed as a light-fi lled glass jewel box that creates a signature focal point to the campus. A carefully selected and proportioned material palette of brick, stucco and metal panels ties the design into the existing buildings, while respecting the residential character of the surroundings.

The middle school is LEED Silver certifi ed and incorporates many sustainable features including a green roof that is accessible from the biology lab, high-albedo roof materials, and high-effi ciency plumbing fi xtures.

Mount Vernon Presbyterian SchoolUpper School

After completing the master plan with MVPS, Collins Cooper Carusi designed its 73,000-SF upper school and administration building. The facility includes a classroom/administration wing, media center, visual art classrooms and administrative support spaces. The athletic core is organized around an 11,000-SF competition gymnasium.

The design provides building occupants with a connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Access to natural light throughout the building provides demonstrable increases in student productivity and well-being. The abundance of natural light decreased the need for artifi cial light and allows the school to save energy. The project also involved the development of a competition football/soccer venue and a baseball/softball complex.

The site accommodated a geothermal ground loop, located beneath the new sports fi eld, which serves most of the building’s heating/cooling needs. These measures, in conjunction with increased building envelope insulation values, high-effi ciency glazing and lighting, and a software-based building automation system, resulted in a 38.6% energy savings over code-required minimums. The building achieved LEED Silver certifi cation.

Holy Innocents’ Episcopal SchoolRowan Family Middle School

The Fred Rowan Family Middle School provides Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School the classroom space required to accommodate its growing enrollment. Part of the new campus master plan, the three-level 41,000-SF middle school building is strategically placed near the renovated baseball fi elds, outdoor playground and new athletic facility expansion. The building’s interior and architectural elements are designed to refl ect the teens’ infl ux of creative energy, and to keep the building as low maintenance as possible. The art lab, situated on the upper fl oor, is wrapped in clerestory glass and has large, round skylights protruding from the roof deck above. This provides the young artists with plenty of natural light to develop their creations.

The student commons and media center provide areas for students to collaborate in groups via the moveable furnishings, or to get the latest homework assignments online at the computer bar.

The main corridors of the new middle school utilize low maintenance and high durability fi nishes, which will survive years of continual use and abuse from the teenage students.

E. Rivers Elementary School

Opened in 1917 and originally called Peachtree Heights School, E. Rivers Elementary is one of Atlanta Public Schools’ oldest schools. The school burned down in 1948 and a new school was constructed on the same site. To accommodate rapid enrollment growth, additions and renovations were performed in 1958, 1987, and 1993, and as the school community continued to grow, the overall building became obsolete.

Designed to integrate closely with a small urban site, the newly designed 112,000-SF, three-story school is comprised of three classroom wings with attached administration, cafeteria/auditorium and gymnasium components. The site is 8.67 acres and includes parking and drop-off , a soccer fi eld, track, a certifi ed eco-habitat garden, and playgrounds.

During the planning and programming phase, Collins Cooper Carusi Architects worked closely with Atlanta Public Schools to collaborate with surrounding neighborhoods and school community. Aesthetically, the architecture is intended to relate to the adjacent historic residential community while promoting a walking environment.

Pace AcademyArthur M. Blank Family Upper School

Situated at the front of campus, the four-story, 76,000-SF Arthur M. Blank Family Upper School completes the Pace campus masterplan, and provides quantitative and qualitative improvements to the Upper School.

The building is sited to ‘fi t’ within its campus context both aesthetically and logistically. Its imagery compliments the architectural style and scale of Pace’s iconic “castle” while providing 40 classrooms, eight science labs, two computer labs, a three-story library, roof terrace, academic resource center, teacher offi ces, college counseling suite, meeting rooms, and two-story student commons. Each space accommodates emerging technologies, and employs energy effi cient building systems. Spaces are fi lled with natural daylight to promote comfortable and healthy learning environments.

Particular design attention was paid to spaces that promote daily encounters between students and teachers, all within a warm and inviting residential aesthetic.

For students and the broader Pace community, a prominent student commons is nestled into the gardens and serves as an informal hangout space and also accommodates formal lectures, performances and a variety of school events.

The King & Spalding Childcare Center is an adaptive reuse of an existing 4-story, 55,000 SF facility in Midtown Atlanta. The center was developed to provide a quality childcare option for the employees of the law fi rm. This childcare facility accommodates 108 kids, and resides on two fl oors totaling 15,000 SF The facility was designed with features reminiscent of a treehouse. Forms, materials, and graphics were selected because they were environmentally friendly and helped to communicate the safe-harbor and excitement associated with a treehouse.

The remaining 40,000 SF of the building has been programmed to house the Tort and Environmental Litigation departments of King & Spalding. The goals of the renovation were to provide a better working environment compared to the departments’ previous locations by developing better circulation paths to increase work fl ow, and providing state of the art support spaces, conference rooms, and meeting areas. The program also responded to the client’s need for additional senior level offi ce space while keeping the rest of the layout fl exible for future changes and staff additions.

All of the existing building systems were assessed and replaced in their entirety. This facility is designed for State and NAEYC accredited.

Situated on the historic Oglethorpe University campus between the original academic quad and the residential precinct, the new Campus Center encompasses a main dining hall, student organization spaces, meeting rooms, recreational and study spaces, and student services offi ces. With a growing need to serve an expanding on-campus and commuting student population, the Turner Lynch Campus Center serves a vital role as the fulcrum of student life on campus.

Collins Cooper Carusi Architects engaged students, staff , faculty, leadership, and alumni to defi ne the vision for the project through a series of collaborative workshops. Multiple design concepts, which considered both renovation and new construction, were explored and evaluated based on program content and organization, site utilization, phasing and fi nancial viability. Based on these criteria, a new facility was recommended to replace the aged and outdated 1969 student center. The revitalized design embraces the uniqueness of Oglethorpe University’s architecture, student culture and the natural setting of the site, and reinforces its place on campus as the crossroads between the students’ academic and residential lives.

The Turner Lynch Campus Center is the rebirth of a facility that occupies the essential space between academics and student life, both physically and symbolically. It is a space for students to gather - whether to dine, collaborate, play or relax.

For years, the Danville YMCA coped with an ageing and cramped facility that was increasingly inadequate for their mission of serving the local community. They knew they could boost their membership and off er outreach programs to a wider audience in an expanded and improved home, but the search for a new site proved challenging.

The new building is the fi rst construction on the Dan River in over a century, and will act as an anchor and catalyst for future development. The 50,800 SF project includes a gymnasium, exercise rooms, walking track, six-lane pool and physical therapy center. It off ers senior-friendly features, a teen center and a childcare facility.

Collins Cooper Carusi’s design not only fulfi lls the YMCA’s mission, but it represents the revitalization of the city’s riverfront. The building off ers breathtaking views of the water and city beyond, and physically connects users to the river via a public walking trail. These amenities are unprecedented in the Danville community.

The aesthetic is modern and contemporary but evocative of Danville’s historic character. Using a simple palette of rich materials such as warm wood contrasting against industrial steel, the structure is reminiscent of the textile mills that once stood on the river, and even incorporates salvaged timbers that had been left behind. CCCA’s design team also found an opportunity to reuse extracted rock, crushing it into gravel for backfi lling. The design is a literal and fi gurative reworking of the site’s past, but also a symbol of the city’s future.

The Lovett SchoolBaseball Complex

Lovett’s athletics program is an essential facet to the school philosophy, which seeks to develop the whole child. From movement education in the early childhood program through competitive varsity sports, students gain a broad exposure to the importance of physical activity.

Due to their increasing school population, the school needed to expand and improve their athletic facilities to accommodate the growing athletic enrollment. The Baseball & Softball Complex was developed to allow the addition of a new artifi cial sports fi eld for football, lacrosse and physical education.

The programmatic features required to accommodate the competition, training, and spectator needs included a 400 seat grandstand-style softball stadium and a 900 seat grandstand-style baseball stadium clustered together to develop the central pedestrian plaza. The complex also includes a new 8,000 SF Athletic Field House with coaches’ offi ces, umpire locker rooms, team locker areas, indoor batting cages and ample equipment storage areas located on the lower level. The upper plaza level provides easy pedestrian access to both stadiums and features shared concessions areas and public restrooms.

The complex has notable sustainable elements to its design such as a 54,000 gallon cistern that stores collected rain water, which is used for fi eld irrigation.

The Summit Family YMCA relocated from a smaller leased space within a medical offi ce center to a new 60,500-SF LEED Gold Certifi ed building.

The programmatic elements for this new family YMCA include a natatorium with an eight-lane competitive pool and spectator seating, a large therapy pool, a gymnasium with indoor running track, an aerobics studio, a fi tness training center, child care, youth, and teen centers, a multipurpose community room, administrative offi ces, and men’s, women’s, and family locker rooms. The front of the new facility features a drop-off motor plaza and entry court.

The LEED Gold certifi cation of the building by the USGBC was obtained in part by incorporating sustainable features such as drought-tolerant landscaping, trickle irrigation, and low VOC interior materials and fi nishes. The most noticeable savings is achieved by a graywater reclamation system that fi lters water from showers and pool backwash to be used for irrigation and toilet fl ushing.
