Georgia State University Library North

Location: Atlanta, GA

Project Timeline: February – October 2023

Project Awards: AGC 2024 Build Georgia 1st Place Award

Albion was selected as Construction Manager to transform a grade-level parking lot beneath Georgia State University’s Library North building into a dynamic, 18,800 square foot student study and collaboration space. Located in the heart of downtown Atlanta, the project required extensive demolition and excavation beneath an active academic facility—all while minimizing disruption to students and staff.

Working closely with PRAXIS3 and GSU stakeholders, Albion coordinated demolition during academic breaks and implemented precise logistics in tight conditions, including low overhead clearance and limited site access. Despite the complexities of building below an occupied structure, the team maintained an aggressive schedule and delivered the project four months ahead of the contractual deadline, earning Certificate of Completion in October 2023.

This adaptive reuse project now provides GSU students and faculty with a modern, flexible environment for learning, collaboration, and innovation—right in the center of campus.
