Renovations to the Robert W. Woodruff Library at the Atlanta University Center included reconfiguration of the main floor to include an extended hours access area and cafe; a main level learning commons with digital library; classrooms and labs as well as administration and staff offices. Improvements to the upper level include a multi-use special events and exhibition hall, and expansion to the special collections and archives center which is currently the repository for the Morehouse College King Papers. The enhancements to the existing building improved aging infrastructure, improved building accessibility, provided flexible arrangements to the interior space, and improved the interior aesthetics including lighting, colors, and interior finishes.
Silverman CPM represented the Robert W. Woodruff Library throughout the life of the project. The Firm managed the procurement of the design and construction teams, managed the design team and provided due diligence, pre-construction, construction and post-construction management.
