These days, higher education institutions must fin

These days, higher education institutions must find ways to make the most of their resources. One approach is investing in efficient, engaging, and inclusive facilities that benefit the entire campus and community. Well-designed multipurpose facilities can attract more users and increase participation by offering a range of activities and events.

Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) is a perfect example of this trend. Located roughly 30 miles northeast of Atlanta, it’s a metropolitan college with nearly 12,000 students. Recently, the school started construction on a new 72,000-square-foot convocation center.

Working with SSOE Group, Little designed the three-story facility as a versatile space for students, faculty, staff, and the community to gather. It will serve as a hub for recreation and events, even allowing GGC to expand its athletic program with men’s and women’s basketball. Additionally, the facility features a main event space with seating for 3,100 people, a presidential suite, and a student health, wellness, and recreation area. The center’s flexible-use rooms will support students through formal and informal learning and collaboration.

“The Georgia Gwinnett College Convocation Center will be more than a building,” stated GGC President Jann L. Joseph during the project’s groundbreaking ceremony. “It will be the focal point where memories are made, successes celebrated, dreams realized, and fitness and healthy lifestyles are cultivated on a daily basis.”

Firefighting as a profession is often romanticized

Firefighting as a profession is often romanticized. Beyond the heroic façade lies an immensely stressful and hazardous job. From being exposed to carcinogens and working demanding shifts to battling flames and saving lives, firefighters face countless pressures daily. It’s no surprise that firefighting ranks among the most dangerous jobs.

Fire station design must focus on safeguarding the people who protect others by ensuring that functional spaces prioritize firefighters’ physical and mental wellness. How? Click over to our blog (via linktr.ee in our bio), where Studio Principal Lynn Reda shares innovative design strategies that reduce risks and enhance firefighter wellness.
