Georgia Tech
Atlanta, Fulton County

The comprehensive rehabilitation of Georgia Tech’s Glenn and Towers Residence Halls restored their historic 1947 character while meeting the demands of modern college life in a manner designed to achieve LEED Gold certification. The project replaced inappropriate windows from a previous rehabilitation with units matching the historic design and added new dormer windows on courtyard facades to allow for the sensitive conversion of unused attic space into dorm rooms. Additionally a new building constructed in the courtyard discreetly connects the two dorms with a distinctly modern building that honors the campus’ original master plan of a connected common space between the halls.
