Construction is under way on theBrenau University Gainesville campus toreplace several decades-old buildingswith new sorority houses and an addition-al residence hall. A number of projects,including the first phase of the redevelop-ment of the high-profile DowntownCenter, represent the first major construc-tion on the Brenau campus in decades.Currently, crews are focusing on SororityRow.“We actually began preparation in late
April by assisting students and sororitiesin moving out of those facilities thatwould be razed, particularly in dealingwith sororities that might have had mem-orabilia that could be saved for use in thenew halls,” said Dr. David Barnett, sen-ior vice president of administration andCFO of Brenau University. “As soon asstudents were out of the halls, GeorgiaPower moved in to begin work onupgrading the underlying power grid. “We also started removing recyclable
material from the buildings that were tobe razed. Once the power and other utili-ty issues were dealt with, we started thefull demolition of the buildings, debrisremoval and other basic elements of sitepreparation.” The nearly 900-student Women’s
College, which began in 1878 as theGeorgia Baptist Female Seminary, repre-sents almost a third of the total studentbody of the university. Brenau also offerscoeducational undergraduate and gradu-ate programs on campus and online, butthe Women’s College is the only residen-tial part of the institution. Brenau also isthe only women’s college in the countrythat has dedicated houses for nationalsororities.
The four new houses for Zeta TauAlpha, Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Piand Phi Mu are being built in tight rota-tion. The foundation crew will completework on the first, then move to the next.The framing and roofing crew also willmove from one to another as they finish.Barring unforeseen circumstances, stu-dents should be able to move into the firsthouse when it’s completed by March2015, and into each of the other three as
the work wraps up.“The demolition on the Brenau campus
of four existing sorority houses hasoccurred, along with associated hard-scape,” said Brian Daniel, president ofgeneral contractor Carroll DanielConstruction Company. “The rerouting ofexisting utilities is being coordinated withthe demolition project.”The project involves site work, utility
Official ground breaking ceremonies wereheld this fall on two major highway transporta-tion projects, the Northwest Corridor and the I-75 South Metro Georgia Express Lanes.Designed to alleviate heavy traffic conditions insome of the most congested corridors aroundAtlanta, the Northwest Corridor and the I-75South Metro Express Lanes are expected toimprove traffic flow, reduce trip times and bringeconomic growth to the region.In September, Gov.

relocation, landscape and the installation ofnew utility service to the buildings. The con-struction of the four new structures will bethe major task.According to Daniel, construction on an
occupied campus and allowing for the needsand safety of the students, faculty andadministration is of prime importance. “The proximity of existing occupied
buildings is always challenging on any site,especially where there’s a lot of foot traffic. Daniel said new construction was clearly
the best option for the school.“The existing buildings were outdated,
along with the MEP systems. It was deter-mined the buildings conditions would notsupport renovation under the budgetrestraints, and new construction was themost economical way to proceed.”Each sorority house will be 6,500 sq. ft.
(603.9 sq m). The two-story columned hous-es will be built in a traditional Southern style.Materials will include wood frame, woodtrusses, hardi siding, shingle roof, carpet,LVT flooring and steel stairs. Every housewill have a chapter room, parlor, small kitch-enette and nine bedrooms.“The relocation of existing utilities has
begun,” Daniel said. “Many of these oldsorority houses were not documented orlocated prior to start of work, due to the ageof the buildings and lack of as-built informa-tion. Three of the four houses will be built inthe existing location of the previous houseand extensive site work will be required. Thefourth house will be lowered and movedcloser to the road.”There are approximately 1,000 cu. yds.
(764.6 cu m) of dirt moved so far on the proj-ect. The demolition was performed with aDaewoo 300 series long-reach and a Cat312. The discovery and relocation of the
existing utilities and the demolition of thefourth structure are the most time-consum-ing parts of the project, because of the prox-imity to existing structures.Brenau University’s Board of Trustees has
approved a spending plan that provides for$8 million in new construction for under-graduate residence houses, a human anato-my laboratory and a field house at a new ath-letics park. The first phase of constructionincluded the redevelopment of the city ofGainesville-owned entertainment and meet-ing venue into the Brenau UniversityDowntown Center — the site of a new doc-tor of physical therapy program, along withThe Manhattan Gallery of modern art. Theinitial phase also has resulted in improve-ments in the university’s endowment and toits nursing program’s faculty and facilities.The biggest challenge with the
Downtown Center, which includes nearly4,500 sq. ft. (418.1 sq m) of meeting andballroom space, an executive boardroom anda 300-seat performing arts theater, was theprotection of the existing structure during theselective demolition process. Tearing downthe existing concrete seating and installingthe added elevated structure proved to belong and tedious tasks.Roughly 800 cu. yds. (661 cu m) of con-
crete, 100 tons (90.7 t) of structural steel, 220squares of metal deck and 200 tons (181 t) ofcooling capacity went into the new structureinside the Downtown Center. The overallsquare footage of the lower level is approxi-mately 20,000 sq. ft. (1,858 sq m), with halfdedicated to classroom space and the otherhalf to corridors, storage and future expan-sion. The upper level is roughly 15,000 sq. ft.(1,393.5 sq m).The demo was limited to interiors, with
the exception of cutting in new windows.

Relocation of Existing Utilities Proves Time Consuming
Construction at the Downtown Center beganin 2013, with work stretching well into 2014,as crews refined ceilings, walls and flooring;replaced signage; and installed equipmentand video monitors. Physical therapy staffand faculty moved in to their new space inthe building in July. A portion of the atrium has been parti-
tioned off as the future location of a physicaltherapy clinic that will open as soon as fundsare secured. Primarily, it will serve as a prac-tice area for doctoral candidates in a clinicalsetting under the supervision of licensed fac-ulty. Most of the work on the Downtown
Center — the former Georgia MountainsCenter — focused on the arena. “The footings and elevator pits were cut
into the existing slab and placed in the oldarena,” said Daniel. “The entire 20,000square feet of elevated slab was placed witha line pump through one of the new win-dows. The large saw was used to cut theexisting concrete seating flush along theedge of the structure to remain. Anotherpiece of key equipment was a demo shearmounted on a 300 series excavator. All sig-nage was placed with a boom truck and manlift.“The project was design build, which
gave the opportunity to address any issues inthe design process. The project ran especial-ly smoothly, due to the early involvementand cooperation of the owner, architect andcontractor.” One of the most celebrated features of the
Downtown Center has been the installationof the Manhattan Gallery, which featuresmore than 100 pieces of art from the univer-sity’s permanent collection of paintings,drawings, sculpture and other fine art datingback to the 18th century. Its specialty, how-ever, is works of 20th and 21st century
artists, particularly in the modern and pop artgenres. Included are a substantial number ofpieces from the renowned Dorothy andHerbert Vogel collection. The school also has reached its target for
the first stage of the development of facilitiesfor an intercollegiate athletics complex in theNew Holland community near theGainesville campus, with a gift from Dougand Kay Ivester. The complex will be builton property donated by Pacolet-MillikenInc.Initial development on the site includes a
softball field, parking, bleachers and otherimprovements. Construction on the firstphase of the athletic park should be complet-ed in time for the 2015 late winter softballseason. The second phase timetable will beestablished by the success of fundraising. “The athletics project will be designed so
as to not raise the elevation more than .01feet,” Daniel said. “The field will bedesigned to have underdrainage, and will beslightly elevated over existing grades. Thisproject will last nine months.”For Daniel, whose mother is a Brenau
Women’s College alum and current trustee,the ongoing work is more than just anassignment.“Carroll Daniel Construction has a long
relationship with Brenau University, span-ning three generations. Carroll DanielConstruction Company has worked closelywith school officials, designers and officesof campus facilities over the years, and hasdeveloped open relationships with thesegroups. It made the identifying and prioritiz-ing of campus needs a streamlined process.”As far as the general residence hall, locat-
ed directly across a two-lane city street fromthe new Sorority Row, work will start withdemolition and site preparation in late 2014or very early 2015. “The hall is scheduled for completion in
the 2015 to 16 academic year,” said Barnett.“We would love to have students start mov-ing in by the second semester.”The human anatomy lab at the Brenau
Downtown Center in Gainesville, mean-while, is in final design and permitting phas-es now, with completion also scheduled intime for the 2015-16 academic year. Thebiggest concern for construction crews willbe working directly above the educationallearning space, making certain all safety pre-cautions are in place. The lab will serve a variety of students.“We already have programs like graduate-
level occupational therapy and nursing, inaddition to undergraduate biology and othersciences that will use the lab, but haverecently been authorized to accept applica-tions for our doctor of physical therapydegree program, which will be housed in thesame building as the lab, and whose studentsalso will make use of it,” Barnett said. “With these projects, Brenau is well
underway in the execution of its strategicplan to become one of the leading compre-hensive universities in the Southeast. We arein a competitive market, and we must havegreat facilities to attract great students.“Year in and year out, the cost of bringing
old residence halls up to today’s standardsand maintaining them, if that could be
accomplished, far exceeds replacement withnew facilities. We have 10 intercollegiateathletics teams always in contention fornational and conference championships. Thethree teams most immediately affected bythe athletics park project use public parks orborrow high school facilities as their homefields. The anatomy lab, with 10 stations,replaces an outdated lab with two stations,and is critical to the university’s goal fulfill-ment to become a leader in the allied healthprofessions preparation. “These projects also intertwine with the
fact the university is one of the remaining 40women’s colleges in the U.S. We areabsolutely committed to the long-term via-bility of Brenau Women’s College, and theseprojects are important to that.” The projects are all part of a $40 million
capital campaign. They will be funded bydonations and arranged long-term financingthat will be repaid through future donations.The total value of the projects is close to $12million, including $6.5 million for the newresidence hall and sorority houses, $4.4 mil-lion for the athletics park and $750,000 forthe human anatomy lab. “There will be some temporary inconven-
ience of relocating students and working inand around a vibrant academic and residen-tial campus environment,” Barnett said. “Weare trying to maintain the main campusambiance, as well as at the athletics park,which is being developed on part of the siteof a historically significant textile mill vil-lage near the main campus. These projectsare a huge step in demonstrating that BrenauUniversity will meet and exceed expecta-tions of the students of tomorrow at all lev-els and on all academic platforms.”
