  • Glencairn CIA Administration and Community Center

    Glencairn CIA Administration and Community Center

    The new Glencairn Administration & Community Center is located on a reclaimed park site. The design approach seeks to visually minimize the loss of the areas finite green space by creating a see-through building. The 5,700 SF center has three components: the two-story glass enclosed lobby provides and allows views through and into the park, the multipurpose community room, constructed of double insulated glass panels, and offices and support spaces clad in brick and wood. Natural materials were selected for durability, accessibility and sustainability. Large roof overhangs that allow daylight while protecting the occupants from the glare and heat of direct sun radiation.

  • Burnt Hickory Community Center

    Burnt Hickory Community Center

    LDDBlueline™ was part of the team that helped develop the new 120-acre park in Paulding County that includes the construction of athletic fields, tennis courts, a Community Center, and support buildings. The County desired a more rustic look for all the buildings, so the community center, with a lodge feel, includes two classrooms, an arts & crafts classroom, two aerobics rooms, two racquetball courts, and a large meeting space. The support buildings continue this vocabulary in a simplified manner to provide a campus feel within the entire park.

  • George Pierce Community Center

    George Pierce Community Center

    Gwinnett County needed to replace an outdated meeting facility in the park while expanding programming opportunities and LDDBlueline™ was selected to assist with the design.

A central lobby with control desk connects the Community Center classrooms and large meeting room to the Senior Wing which has its own facilities. Brick is incorporated in the exterior and interior of the building to create a connection with the City of Suwanee’s creation of a new downtown area that includes brick.

  • Gift and Thrift

    Gift and Thrift

    The success of Gift and Thrift drove an expansion and renovation to their existing operations.  More floor space was needed to feature distinct categories of wares.  A furniture area was added along with expanded receiving and processing areas.  A sister organization—Booksavers—got their own display and sales area.  A separate street entrance for people dropping off goods was placed on the opposite side of the building from customer parking along with a separate staff parking area.  The expanded facility allows Gift and Thrift to receive and sell more items, generating funds for world-wide relief and keeping significant materials out of landfills.
