Innovation Center and Corporate Office

Kimberly Clark’s campus location in Roswell, Georgia features a branded environment housing its corporate office and innovation center. A renowned paper company, Kimberly Clark produces mostly paper-based consumer products. The following design approach is influenced by the notion of trees and its inner rings symbolizing connectivity with sustainability at the core of the design. Throughout the Innovation Center, key elements driving the design are visible such as creating spaces that are a safe haven to spur new ideas, collaboration, and influence local and global connectedness, which all align perfectly with Kimberly Clark’s mission and corporate culture. The corporate office is methodically planned with attention to

spatial relationships, assisting workers in daily tasks and daily demands. At the core of the plan is a center for neighboring areas to easily join together in collaboration bringing diversity and creating an environment which is flexible and can be easily tailored to meet everyone’s workplace needs. Sustainability is a key factor composed throughout all areas of Kimberly Clark. With LEED standard considerations, the building features sustainable material selections, solar energy attributes, and locally derived plants. The mission of the paper- based company is set to reflect its standards throughout the entirety of its innovation center and corporate office design.

The Barbury Cafe & Coffee Bar / Innovation Center & Campus Access

This cafe was created on the site’s campus as a local spot for workers to grab a snack and coffee. Located on the north east side of the building, the location allows for easy access to visitors attending the Innovation Center. The cafe is also adjacent to the patio, which helps foster a space for people to take a break or work in the outdoors. With Kimberly Clark’s mission towards sustainability, we wanted to highlight the natural material use in the interiors to create a warm and exciting environment. The wood wrapped acoustic panels help combat the sound in the space, and create a focal point as visitors enter the area.

Graduate Studio - Fall 2020 - 17,000 SF Donor Pre s entation for Georgia State University’s College of the Arts Renovation

Located in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia State University’s College of the Arts redesign focuses on the possibilities of delivering the future of design education at the university. The following project center’s attention on the analysis of research statistics to influence and drive all of the design decisions made throughout the College of the Arts’s remodel. This design proposal takes a high-level view of challenges that the existing space presents and provides possible solutions for the way Design Education needs to evolve in a post-COVID world. Throughout the research inquiry phase, the survey revealed that the existing space was not conducive for collaboration, inspiration, or creativity in both the physical

and digital learning spaces. Some of the major problem areas that were identified are environmental separation, lack of human connection, and the need for a cohesive and adaptive curriculum delivery system. Because of Georgia State University’s central downtown context, the school ranks as one of the largest commuter schools in the state. After the effects of Covid, the university will continue to see a need for a hybrid learning model, which was a cardinal focal point throughout the design process. How can we increase accessibility for students outside of the learning environment and create a space where students can engage in both virtual and in-person formats?

Research Inspired Design / Learning in an Era of COVID

In the Spring of 2020, the world of education was turned upside down. Student’s and teachers across the world were forced to completely change the way they engaged with their students and with each other. From the implementation of various technologies to enable virtual collaboration, to negotiating safety guidelines when using physical space, students and teachers were faced with myriad challenges, both on campus and off. This design proposal takes a high-level view of those existing challenges, and some that we may yet face, and presents possible solutions for the way Design Education needs to evolve in a post-COVID world. Prior to the design phases, we conducted research of established precedent and emerging education design trends, a collection of survey data from the current design 16

students, and an examination of the existing conditions of the College of the Arts building at GSU. Attempting to elevate the sense of community, both on-campus and online, the opportunities for creative collaboration and inspiration, we designed a space and a hybrid learning system that more fully reflects Georgia State’s core values of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The survey data revealed a multitude of needs to improve the education experience on-site, as well as a demand for a more adaptive hybrid learning system. Points of focus for our project were to include highly flexible learning environments, integrated technology systems to support in-person and online learning formats, as well as visual stimulation and a connection to the outdoor world, which are crucial to the creative process.

The Collaborative Zones

The collaborative zones were an essential part of the redesign to help foster connectivity and create a working environment beyond the classroom. Visual interest was a pivotal element in the redesign, which is why transparency was highly used throughout these areas to increase connectivity to peers and the outdoors. The use of the branding colors were also translated throughout each of these areas, using modern variations of the blue and red color palettes from GSU’s branding package. Adjacent to the collaborative zones are the design studios that open directly into these spaces. Students have the ability to open or close off any enclosed space in the building with an adjustable wall system that includes either windows or writable surfaces. Doing this creates focused or co-working studios that foster connection, collaboration and enhance the traditional studio experience.

The Patio / Branding Identified From All Angles

With its campus located in the heart of downtown Atlanta, we wanted the College of the Arts building to be easily identified from an aerial view. The concept driven for the patio space was to evaluate the branding component being used for the online learning platform and translate a uniquely branded environment throughout the exterior. The university’s mascot was simplified into a modern silhouette of a panther head. From what looks like an intriguing angular environment from ground level is interpreted into a branding element from above. This approach institutes a statement piece for Georgia State University by creating an easily identified icon from a birds-eye view of the city.
