Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Concourse E Seating

Aviation/Public Transportation0

The Concourse E Seating Project at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) represents a vital component of the airport’s broader modernization efforts, aimed at enhancing both functionality and passenger experience. As one of the busiest airports globally, ATL sought to transform Concourse E into a modern, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing environment that seamlessly blends with the cutting-edge design of its newly upgraded international terminal.

CBI was selected to provide and install Vitra Airline Beam Seating throughout Concourse E, designed to meet the highest standards of comfort, durability, and modernity. The seating system features PU seat shells, complemented by cast aluminum arms, legs, and beams, offering a sleek and contemporary look that complements the high-traffic nature of the concourse. To address the increasing need for power access in public spaces, the seating incorporates 3-gang power units that provide both 120V outlets and USB charging ports, ensuring travelers remain connected and powered throughout their journey.

In total, 5,000 seats were installed across all gates in Concourse E, replacing outdated seating with a fresh, modern alternative that enhances the airport’s overall design. Given the scale of the project, CBI worked closely with Vitra to assemble the seating off-site before delivering it fully assembled to Concourse E. This streamlined process ensured minimal disruption to airport operations during installation.

Additionally, Vitra seating has been integrated into specific gates within Concourse D & F, as well as in pre- and post-security ADA seating areas, installed as part of the project in 2023. These installations were integral to ensuring that all passengers, including those with mobility challenges, had access to convenient and comfortable seating options.

This $5,000,000 furniture project, which was issued in July 2020, is part of a larger, LEED Gold-certified effort to modernize the airport’s facilities while maintaining a focus on environmental sustainability and efficiency. Designed by Gresham Smith in a firm-led joint venture, the comprehensive design of the international gateway includes a 1.2-million-square-foot terminal and concourse, as well as a highly complex 40-foot-deep connector constructed beneath the existing Concourse E. The project adhered to a fast-track timeline and a strict budget, ensuring a high-quality outcome despite the complexity of the undertaking.

The Concourse E Seating Project exemplifies the intersection of form, function, and innovation, providing ATL with seating solutions that meet the needs of both passengers and the airport, while contributing to the world-class experience that is synonymous with Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Fulton County Animal Services Shelter

Government0

Owner: Fulton County

Location: Atlanta, Georgia

Completion Date: 2023

PGAL, in collaboration with Animal Arts, designed the new $37 million Fulton County Animal Services shelter in Atlanta that replaces its 40-year-old, undersized predecessor.

Operated by Lifeline Animal Rescue, the new Animal Shelter is an excellent example of an effective partnering between public agencies and private enterprises. The design team worked closely with the County’s Public Safety staff, Lifeline staff, and volunteer groups for the facility throughout programming and design, ensuring operational and financial goals were addressed.

The 50,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art building can house 376 dogs and 99 cats, as well as livestock. The building is designed with daylight throughout, indoor/outdoor enclosures for the dogs, and “catios” for the feline residents. The shelter includes efficient, safe, and collaborative spaces for animal control and a shelter veterinary clinic that is designed and equipped so that the County can expand services offered to the public in the future. The County’s vision also included an opportunity to engage the greater community through training, educational programs, and other public gatherings. To satisfy this goal, the design incorporates training rooms that can be divided into separate meeting spaces, as well as a large public plaza located at the center of the facility to host fundraising, community rescue, and other public events.

The interior design reflects biophilic colors and textures, bringing life and interest to the kennels and public spaces. Every effort was made to incorporate daylighting into the building’s interior spaces to benefit both animals and staff. Two internal courtyards provide outdoor spaces for the smaller dogs and the quarantine and maternity dogs, respectively; these courtyards have storefront glazing at their ends to allow visual transparency and daylighting into the interior. In the main kennel wings, clerestory daylighting was implemented to serve as a sustainable design feature while also providing natural lighting to help maintain circadian sleep cycles, which can get disrupted and add stress to the animals housed in the facility.

Features include:

  1. 50,000-square-foot new LEED certified Animal Shelter
  2. Public-Private-Partnership between Fulton County and Lifeline Animal Rescue
  3. Large, public plaza to host community events

East Point City Hall

Government0

The East Point City Hall in East Point, Georgia, is a 33,000-square-foot facility designed to revitalize the historic downtown area and serve as a central hub for city operations. Developed by the Sizemore Group, the project aimed to create a state-of-the-art facility that would act as a catalyst for community engagement and economic investment.

The design preserves the existing City Hall and Auditorium, creating an urban courtyard within walking distance of the East Point MARTA Station. The new facility includes city offices, a multipurpose City Council Chamber, and additional space for future expansion.

Sustainability was a key focus, with the building achieving EarthCraft Gold Certification by incorporating energy-efficient systems and fixtures. Features such as parking for carpools, electric vehicles, and bikes, as well as the use of local artwork and the integration of nature, contribute to the building’s sustainability goals.

Contract Business Interiors (CBI) collaborated on the project, providing interior solutions for private offices, conference rooms, collaboration spaces, break areas, open-plan workstations, storage, and lounge areas. They partnered with manufacturers like Trendway, Indiana Furniture, and Krug to furnish these spaces.

The East Point City Hall stands as a symbol of the city’s commitment to sustainable development and community revitalization, offering a modern space that fosters collaboration among departments and serves as a gathering place for residents.

Albany Transportation Center

Aviation/Public Transportation0

Albany, Georgia

The legacy of the civil rights movement in Albany figured into the plans for this transit hub that will not only improve transportation options, but help revitalize the city’s downtown area. As part of NBA’s context-sensitive design approach, the team met with community members, transportation stakeholders and city officials in an effort to preserve the aesthetic, historic, cultural, and environmental characteristics of the district. The architecture of the Albany Transportation Center harmonizes with the historical elements, while still communicating that ATS is a contemporary transit system. The facility, which houses a transfer island with 12 bays, Greyhound bus slips and terminal, operations and dispatch facilities, also features a computer lab accessible to the public. NBA has designed two exhibits for the multi-modal hub. A wall display inside the main lobby powerfully depicts the lunch-counter sit-ins staged at this former Trailways Bus Terminal in 1961. Just beyond, a plaza commemorates activist Ola Mae Quarterman, known as Albany’s Rosa Parks.

Scope / Components
– 10,327 sf Transportation Center
– Operations and dispatch facilities
– Transfer island with 12 ATS bays
– Two Greyhound bus slips
– Greyhound passenger terminal
– Driver break area

– Located in the historic Harlem Commercial District
