Boys & Girls Clubs – Cheers for Charity
Christian Bourguillon and Kaitlin Bryant Join Breedlove Land Planning’s Atlanta Office
BLP is excited to introduce two new team members to the Atlanta office, Christian Bourguillon and Kaitlin Bryant. Christian graduated from Kennesaw State University in 2016 with a B.S. in Civil Engineering. He is a Registered Professional Engineer in Georgia specializing in land development, site design, and stormwater design. Christian is originally from Haiti, and enjoys PC gaming and building, deer and turkey hunting, as well as playing team sports.
Kaitlin Bryant recently graduated from UGA’s College of Environment and Design with a degree in Landscape Architecture, and a minor in Environmental Economics and Management. She developed a strength in planting design while working for a landscaping company and a plant nursery before joining BLP. Kaitlin enjoys playing soccer around Atlanta, biking, and visiting local breweries with her fiancé.
UGA Campus Tour
Last week BLP’s offices got together to visit some of the projects we have worked on at the University of Georgia. This was an opportunity for our entire staff to share successes and lessons learned, which can be applied on future projects. An unforeseen bonus: the rainy weather allowed us the opportunity to see many of the stormwater bio-cells and rain gardens we have designed in action. With our Bishop office just a short drive from UGA’s main campus in Athens, BLP has provided site design services for over 20 projects at UGA including the Special Collections Library and the Terry College of Business Learning Community. We would like to thank Turner Construction for the hard hat tour of the First Year Residence Hall, which is scheduled for completion later this year.
Dove Creek Middle School Groundbreaking
BLP’s Matt Tanner recently attended the groundbreaking ceremony for Oconee County School District’s new Dove Creek Middle School. We’re excited to be a part of the team with Lindsey Pope Brayfield & Associates, Spurlock & Associates, and Bowen & Watson!

Georgia Tech Project Tour
Yesterday BLP took a walk through Georgia Tech’s campus to visit some of our past projects and enjoy the fall weather. BLP has provided task order services at Georgia Tech for landscape architecture, civil engineering and surveying since 2011. Projects have included everything from athletic fields, streetscapes, and parking renovations to plazas and monuments. It’s amazing to see how the campus has changed over the years!
