The Georgia Gwinnett College (GCC) Gateway Building and Infrastructure project in Lawrenceville, Ga., is on track for its November 2024 completion date, according to a news release. The project consists of a new central energy plant and the construction of the university’s first-ever Convocation Center.

The Convocation Center (or Gateway Building) covers a total of 72,280 square feet and includes student services like wellness, recreation, food service, convocation, and events. Meanwhile, the central energy plant will be built in a separate structure and serve the entire campus. Development stems from a 2015 university study on how to coordinate campus utility systems with planned architectural growth. Once complete, the central energy plant will provide chilled water for the Gateway Building and nine more buildings on campus.

The college partnered with architects SSOE Group and Hughes Group Architects, engineer RMF Engineering, and general contractor Carroll Daniel Construction.
