ATLANTA, Ga. – Brasfield & Gorrie opens its relocated Cobb County office in the area around SunTrust Park and The Battery Atlanta in Georgia. The move from the company’s previous Kennesaw location to a completely renovated 113,000-square-foot office building increases the company’s space by about 43,000 square feet and will allow the general contractor to continue to expand in a growing, conveniently located neighborhood.
Brasfield & Gorrie’s new office repurposes an existing pair of connected three-story buildings. The buildings were originally constructed in the late 1970s and early 1980s and underwent a complete renovation to modernize the exterior and interior. A portion of the exterior received curtainwall glass to bring additional light into the building and provide an updated façade at its entrance.
Beyond the main entrance is a three-story atrium leading to a conference center, training room and social space that connects to an expanded outdoor area with lounge and dining seating and a bocce court.
Removing interior walls and installing glass fronts on offices and conference rooms opened up the building’s interior spaces. Intended to encourage collaboration among employees, work cafes, huddle rooms and gathering areas are distributed throughout the buildings.
Brasfield & Gorrie incorporated sustainable elements throughout the office. LED lighting and Energy Star-rated appliances, HVAC equipment and windows reduce energy consumption, and water-efficient plumbing features will reduce water consumption by 20 percent annually. The building includes locally sourced and salvaged materials, which decreased the facility’s carbon footprint while contributing to the local economy.
