PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Junior Achievement Discovery Center at North Georgia

The Mike and Lynn Cottrell Junior Achievement Discovery Center at North Georgia is a state-of-the-art learning facility that allows students to apply concepts they learn in the classroom in a 360-degree authentic and immersive experience. Built in an existing shell space on an active high school campus, this facility was a unique and challenging project that involved the coordination of numerous project stakeholders and the creative use of materials and finishes to meet a tight schedule and budget. The facility serves 16,000 students, with the participation of eight school districts.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Junior Achievement Discovery Center in Dalton, Georgia

Carroll Daniel built the Junior Achievement Discovery Center at Dalton – the first JA Discovery Center not located in a major metropolitan area and located on site with Hammond Creek Middle School. The space features 17 mock storefronts that represent local businesses and public sponsors. The Carroll Daniel team worked collaboratively with each vendor to meet their specifications — including the businesses’ finishes, colors and infrastructure were in sync with their corporate standards and that the space met their needs — all within a tight budget and schedule.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Junior Achievement Discovery Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia

Carroll Daniel Construction was selected to build out the Junior Achievement Discovery Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia, in the existing Discovery High School. This Discovery Center was a two-story 45,000-square-foot interior project and the first facility of its kind to be located in a school setting. The space features mock storefronts that closely resemble downtown Lawrenceville – with 36 corporate sponsors. The Carroll Daniel team worked extensively to meet the tight budget and complete the build-out in just seven months.

This project was extremely challenging due to an aggressive schedule, the complexity of design and the large number of stakeholders involved. Carroll Daniel did a fantastic job of cultivating a teamwork-oriented atmosphere that encouraged collaboration and creative problem solving.
