Convocation Center – GA State University

Atlanta, GA

Project Description: The GA State University Convocation Center is a multi-use facility located in Atlanta. It serves as home to the Panthers-GSU’s men’s and women’s basketball teams-as well as an event venue.

Scope of work: Our scope of work for this new construction project included cold formed metal framing, non-structural metal framing, sheathing, drywall and acoustical ceilings. In addition, we installed several specialty systems such as acoustical wall panels, specialty wood ceilings, baffle ceilings and metal column covers.

Special Challenges: For this project, the architect had a vision that was difficult to express on two-dimensional drawings. Brasington Bailey was able to engineer, design and construct the architect’s vision based on numerous meetings and interpretations in 3D models. Also, the project benefitted from our experience working in arenas, which requires a different level of planning in order to access work areas. We were able to utilize specialty equipment and scaffold design to safely and efficiently complete work in difficult areas on time.
