Georgia Gwinnett College Gateway Building Nears Completion
A construction project at Georgia Gwinnett College in Lawrenceville, Ga., is on track for its November 2024 completion date, according to a news release. The Gateway Project includes two separate buildings: a convocation center (or the gateway building), and a central plant. The Gateway Project covers a total 72,280 square feet and includes student services like wellness, recreation, food service, convocation, and events. It will also play home to the university’s central energy plant; a separate component of the project involves the construction of a Convocation Center.
The project’s infrastructure portion involves replacing individual buildings’ HVAC units with a scalable central cooling system and underground distribution network. The upgrade to central utilities will offer more redundancy and flexibility in future-facing campus infrastructure projects.
The college partnered with architects SSOE Group and Hughes Group Architects, engineer RMF Engineering, and general contractor Carroll Daniel Construction.
