Empire Office partnered with May Architecture to revitalize an integral part of the Georgia Tech Atlanta campus. This cutting-edge and innovative research center for graduate students features adaptable workspaces, huddle rooms, open workstations, lounging zones, and ample natural lighting to enhance post-study rejuvenation.

Our teams outfitted nearly 12,000 square feet with versatile systems, storage solutions, benching, boundary screens, and seating from renowned manufacturers such as Arcadia, Coalesse, Dauphin, OFS, and Steelcase. The design intent and selected pieces were chosen to deliver the durability, flexibility, and privacy needed to support students in this fully equipped and pivotal academic research center.

Gensler and Empire joined forces in the creation of Lynn University’s new Student Center, what is now considered their “Jewel of the Campus.” Empire furnished the students’ new home-away-from-home, which features collaboration areas, meeting rooms, a new Student Life Center, dining area and various outdoor spaces. All of the furniture pieces were chosen to provide a cool and comforting vibe, giving students and faculty a place to come together and connect. To parents’ delight, an internal committee physically tested out each piece to ensure the utmost satisfaction.
