University of North Georgia
Work completed at Cooper Carry.
The buildings are situated on a hillside at the intersection of West Main Street & Walker Drive. Across the street to the east is the dining facility as well as the majority of the campus. The buildings are located to take best advantage of the existing topography and extraordinary views to the eastern mountains and the rest of campus.
The extremely steep site, the need to connect two new building entrance points at multiple elevations, and the challenge of coordinating service, parking, a central student drop off zone, infrastructural, academic, and social uses, have resulted in a new type of landscape for the University of North Georgia that includes a predominately native planting experience with a sinuous network connecting paths that create visual “points of discovery” at every turn.
