The building was strategically sited to define a significant corner of the planned
campus pedestrian quadrangle. The design team developed an “L” shaped plan with an atrium at the vertex
designed as a public space to link the two wings of the building on one axis and the quadrangle to the parking lot along another
axis. Allgood Hall provides students with study spaces both private and public, interior and exterior, and large and
small. The footprint was intentionally shaped to avoid areas of Colonial-era archaeological significance and to conserve
as many healthy, mature trees as possible.
“The Architectural
team did an amazing job on the design and construction management of Allgood Hall at Augusta State University – a 100,000
plus square foot academic building. They were responsible for a design that wonderfully incorporated residential design
motifs from our surrounding historical neighborhood into a large, extremely functional academic building. The placement
and geometry of the building also made it entirely compatible with surrounding early 19th century campus buildings; and the construction management was as tight and efficient as I have seen in over $80
million of major building construction at this university.”
