University of Georgia Boyd Graduate Studies Research Center

Athens, Georgia

The first floor renovation of the University of Georgia for the College of Engineering includes flexible laboratories for computer and electrical engineering research, graduate student workspaces, offices, conference and collaboration spaces, and support spaces.

The project provides an effective and engaging research environment that encouraged collaboration and created a sense of community for students and faculty. The project emphasizes sustainable design by championing opportunities to bring more daylighting into the space and using natural materials to promote well-being. This project was designed concurrently with the renovation of Driftmier Engineering Center, and where possible, the project drivers and brand identity were kept consistent.
