Peabody College at Vanderbilt University

In partnership with Centric Architecture, SGA's higher education group led the process as Design Architect on 71,000 square feet of renovations and additions for Peabody College of Education at Vanderbilt University. SGA designed a 16,000-square-foot “jewel box” connector addition that serves as a new student center for graduate programs; 3,000-square-feet are used as active learning classrooms, fulfilling Peabody College’s wish to create a new school center. The SGA redesign split the boxy building in two; replacing the concrete walls with glass added depth to the façade and created a light-filled atrium lobby with café and lounge.
