Clough Commons
DYNAMIC AND EFFICIENT HUB FOR STUDENTS + STAFF
Georgia Tech sought to update its 12-year-old space to better accommodate staff and students. With a project size of 8,400 sq ft, the renovation was scheduled to be completed within a 9-month timeline. The project presented several challenges, especially relocating end users to three different locations during the renovation. To address this, the CE team conducted a thorough furniture inventory and developed plans to reuse existing furniture, ensuring it was moved efficiently to the temporary spaces. Our team, along with ASD| SKY, collaborated closely with Georgia Tech’s planning, design, and construction teams to ensure the newly renovated space would meet all their needs by providing a more dynamic and efficient hub for students and staff.
By looking at this project from an innovative perspective, CE encouraged the Georgia Tech team to explore fresh possibilities. That effort led us to integrate DIRTT solutions into their plan to provide flexibility and adaptability to their renovated space. These solutions were not only functional but also prepares them for change to meet their ever-evolving future needs.
The Clough VPUE renovation was a success, with the client extremely satisfied with their new space. During an open house event, the Georgia Tech staff expressed their appreciation, stating, “The space is a huge success, and I would like to make sure that everyone who played a part is able to be recognized”.

The key takeaway from this project is the value of effective teamwork and innovative thinking in achieving outstanding results.
