Lawrenceville, Georgia, USA

Nestled in the lush green campus of Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) in Lawrenceville, Georgia, is the state-of-the-art library and learning center designed to serve as the intellectual center of the 8,000-student campus. The 95,000-square-foot, technologically advanced knowledge center incorporates individual and group study spaces, reading rooms and classrooms as well as a café and general multipurpose room.

Creating a sense of transparency was a key design element that was achieved with extensive use of glazing throughout the building. The focal point is a 42' tall curtain wall on the north side of the library and learning center. Kawneer lent its engineering expertise to help with the construction of the curved wall, ensuring it worked in relation to the rest of the building. Kawneer curtain wall products were used to increase daylight and enhance the building envelope’s transparency. The versatility and reliability of Kawneer products made them an ideal solution for the GGC Library and Learning Center.
