Emory Point (Clifton Road) Mixed-Use Development

Cousins Properties is beginning work on a new mixed use, residential-retail complex on Clifton Road across from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This project, named Emory Point, will be built on Emory property through the use of a ground lease from Emory to Cousins Properties Inc., who will build and operate the development. The project was on hold from 2008-2010 due to the economic downturn, but the first of three phases is set to resume during the summer of 2011. This project will provide a mixed use, pedestrian-oriented community with a focus on providing a center of retail, employment and community identity for existing residential areas.

Hamilton Holmes Hall (Freshman Hall Phase 4)

The next phase of Emory University's 9-year housing master plan consists of a 5 story residential hall with 126 beds, which includes a private hall director apartment. Hamilton Holmes Hall (previously known as Freshman Phase 4) will contextually frame the southwest corner of the Freshman Quadrant, which is adjacent to the Dobbs University Center. Referencing the Longstreet/Means building facade and materials, this resident's hall is designed to incorporate a lithonia granite base, a stucco building envelope accented with copper panels, and a gabled clay tile roof. As with the preceding residence halls, the goal of this facility will be to provide educational learning/living experiences that address issues of environmental stewardship. This project will be designed to achieve a USGBC LEED Silver Certified Building.

Oxford College Language Hall Renovation and Addition

Built in 1874, Language Hall is a two story historic brick building located on the south side of the campus quad of Oxford College. Over the years, the building underwent a series of renovations and space reconfiguration that altered the use and appearance of the building.

The project consists of the renovation of the 5,784 square feet existing building as well as a new 1,656 square foot building addition. The renovation includes the replacement and addition of energy efficient building systems that meet current building and life safety codes and addresses structural deficiencies and accessibility requirements. The project is currently in design by Lord Aeck Sargent Architects. Juneau Construction has been selected as the Construction Manager on this project. Construction will start June 2012.

Oxford Library Renovation and Addition

The existing 40 year old Hoke O'Kelley Library building at the Oxford College campus is planned to undergo a comprehensive renovation to the existing building and a new addition to properly support the needs of the Oxford campus. This project will include the renovation of the existing 19,181 square feet as well as an approximately 8,000 square foot addition. Renovations will include building envelope upgrades as well as mechanical and electrical upgrades. The building program includes an expansion of the academic commons, additional high density shelving, new group study areas, space for reception, exhibit and teaching spaces, and adequate library support space.

The building expansion on the front of the existing library will also serve to activate the west end of the quad and an interior atrium will serve to visually connect the upper and lower floors to provide a dynamic and exciting space unique to the Oxford College campus.

The Academic Commons will be located in this two-story space, placing the more active functions toward the campus side of the building. Quieter spaces such as group study rooms will be located toward the west side of the existing building, taking advantage of views to the forested green space beyond. The interior will be designed to appeal to students and faculty with a variety of comfortable seating areas for both individual study and group collaboration. The collection space will be reorganized to maximize available space and new classrooms and seminar rooms will provide much needed state of the art teaching space. The project is currently in design by Collins Cooper Carusi. Brasfield and Gorrie General Contractors have been selected as the Construction Manger during the construction phase.
