The design architect chosen for the facility was the California firm of Kohn, Peterson, Fox, and Associates. Newcomb & Boyd, an Atlanta firm, was tapped as the contracting-construction team and the project engineer on this job. Southeastern Facility Management Inc. is contracted by the General Services Administration (GSA) to operate this facility.
Besides continuous occupancy, Atlanta has significant cooling loads for much of the year and high humidity as well, so the hvac system design goal was to ensure complete comfort in the building around the clock, year-round.
