The Decatur Fire Station No.2 was just awarded a 2010 City of Decatur Historic Preservation Award. This LEED silver project in the Oakhurst neighborhood of the City of Decatur conserves water, employs recycled materials and energy-efficient systems, and uses natural light throughout.  Breedlove Land Planning, as a consultant to LP3 Architecture, provided all site design services for this award winning project. Click here to learn about the ‘sun-tracker’, one of the many unique features of the building.
Construction has begun on the City of Douglasville’s Hunter Park Community Center. This project is the first phase of a complete renovation of this 80 acre community amenity. The building, designed by Lyman Davidson Dooley Architects, is being constructed by Benning Construction. Breedlove Land Planning designed the site which includes new parking facilities, bioretention ponds to treat stormwater pollutants and new walking trails to compliment an adjacent trail system. The larger park renovation should commence in a couple months.
140,000 square feet of synthetic turf has been delivered to Duncan Creek Park. Deluxe Athletics will begin the turf installation this week and the field will transform into a durable (and green) playing surface. Inlaying of the field hash marks and numbering and installation of the rubber infill will occur over the next few weeks. Stay tuned for updates!
Gwinnett County Schools will be celebrating the completion of their most recent elementary school, Anderson-Livsey Elementary School, on Wednesday, May 12th. The school is named after two local, historical families. Carroll Daniel Construction Company began construction on the school last summer, and it will open for enrollment in Fall of 2010. This project was lead by the architecture firm Lindsay Pope Brayfield Clifford & Associates with Breedlove Land Planning providing all site design services. Five members from BLP will be in attendance to celebrate this momentous occasion.
Breedlove Land Planning is proud to announce that Roger Wells has joined the firm as an intern. Roger, who hails from Kennesaw, Georgia, has just completed his 4th year of the 5-year University of Georgia (UGA) undergraduate Landscape Architecture program.   He has studied on the Athens campus of UGA as well as abroad in Cortona, Italy. Breedlove Land Planning is pleased to have him on board.
One of the most exciting site features of the Clarence Brown Civic Center in Bartow County, Georgia is a new outdoor stage and amphitheater. This LEED Silver pending project, lead by the architecture firm of Lyman Davidson Dooley, Inc., is currently under construction. Other site features include a lush event courtyard adjacent to the conference center and a new pond which provides for wildlife habitat, stormwater management and non-potable water for irrigation. Breedlove Land Planning provided all site design services for this state of the art facility.
The third phase of construction for the new Mount Pisgah School athletics complex is underway. Breedlove Land Planning provided site design services for this 34 acre project which includes a new track and field complex, football stadium, soccer, baseball and softball fields and associated amenities. Perhaps the most remarkable feature is that the site is a former landfill. BLP worked closely with the school, GeoSyntec Consultants and New South Construction to mitigate the site in an effort to reclaim the land and further the mission of the school.
