ATLANTA, GA — On January 29, 2010, green builders from across the state gathered at Philips Arena for the Earthcraft House Builders’ Award Breakfast. Celebrating a decade of EarthCraft accomplishments, the function recognized leaders in sustainable construction for their commitment to environmental preservation through the construction of energy-efficient homes.

Hogan Construction Group received an award for the recently-completed Tremont Condominiums, which won Multi-Family Project of the Year at the event. A luxury six-story community with 78 condominium homes and 3,125 square feet of retail space, the Tremont Condominiums features a two-story underground parking garage, a pool, grilling area, landscape lighting, waterfall, clubroom and fitness facility. In addition to its high-end finishes throughout, the Buckhead condominium community boasts key environmentally-friendly features that qualify it for EarthCraft House certification and distinguish it from other condominiums in the area.

For maximized day-lighting, Tremont features oversized wood windows with screens. It meets the criteria for EarthCraft House certification by exceeding baseline sustainability goals in six key categories: energy efficiency, durability, indoor air quality, resource efficiency, waste management, and water conservation. The EarthCraft designation ensures that the home was built to achieve maximum environmental performance without polluting the natural environment. EarthCraft House facilities also earn ENERGY STAR certification due to increased energy efficiency.

GEORGIA ASSOCIATION OF WATER PROFESSIONALS BUILDS NEW HOME

Hogan Working with GAWP to Build Out Their New LEED Silver Headquarters

ATLANTA, GA — Hogan Construction Group was chosen from a small group of select contractors to build the new Georgia Association of Water Professionals (GAWP) headquarters in Marietta, Georgia. A former call center, the new headquarters building will provide 12,466 square feet of office and continuing education training space. Hogan is providing construction management services for the interior renovation and build-out project, which incorporates a variety of sustainable features. Construction is scheduled to last three months.

A not-for-profit organization that provides education and training for professionals in the water/wastewater industry, the Georgia Association of Water Professionals was founded in 1932 as an authority for anyone concerned with Georgia’s water resources. Eager to move from its leased facility nearby, the GAWP contracted with Hogan to completely gut and rebuild the aging facility and provide a new roof, mechanical and plumbing systems, high-end fixtures and an efficient space for the organization’s daily operations and training programs. The project is being funded in large part by donations from GAWP members.

The renovation project is on track to earn a LEED Silver Certification from the USGBC. With an aggressive waste management plan and an indoor air quality plan that ensures maximum comfort for the GAWP staff and visitors, the new facility will be environmentally sustainable and a testament to the owner’s commitment to the preservation of natural resources. Construction will incorporate materials procured regionally, including low-flow water fixtures throughout the one-story building.

The renovation project commences in early February and will be completed in time for the organization’s relocation at the end of May. This schedule will allow the GAWP to conduct its June training programs from its new state-of-the-art facility.

 

DEKALB COUNTY TUCKER-REID H. COFER LIBRARY CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING

Hogan Completes Third DeKalb County Library Project from the 2005 $56 Million Library Bond Program

TUCKER, GA — On January 23, 2010, DeKalb County celebrates the grand opening of Tucker-Reid H. Cofer Library at its new location at the intersection of Lavista Road and Lawrenceville Highway. The ceremony will include a dedication and ribbon cutting, tours of the new facility and refreshments. Presided by library trustees and the County CEO Burrell Ellis, the public is invited to share in this momentous occasion with everyone who made the new library project possible.

Designed by architecture firm Leo A Daly and built by Hogan Construction Group, the new Tucker-Reid H. Cofer Library replaces the aging facility originally constructed in 1965 and more than doubles its size. The 25,000 square foot facility will meet a variety of citizens’ needs and better accommodate the growing population of DeKalb County. Tucker-Reid H. Cofer features a 150-seat meeting room, group study rooms, a youth reading room, conference room, teen area, 42 public access computers, a café and a special area designated to display local community art — including children’s art.

Conveniently located near public transportation, the library promotes sustainability with efficient mechanical systems, low-flow water fixtures, outdoor delivery air monitoring and significant day lighting throughout. In fact, in 90% of the library, visitors can peruse the 82,000 volume collection while enjoying expansive outdoor views. Because of the team’s commitment to environmental stewardship, the library is poised to earn LEED certification this year.

The new library, part of a citizen-approved $56 million bond referendum, is one of seven library projects that Hogan constructed for DeKalb County. The Tucker-Reid H. Cofer Library opens for business on Monday, January 25 at 10:00 A.M.
