jB+a was commissioned to work with Lyman Davidson Dooley Architects at Kennesaw State University on the development of a new, LEED certified, campus dining facility. With this in mind, jB+a designed a surrounding landscape that would contribute to the certification by minimizing water usage through the use of xeriscape plantings and native vegetation. The hardscape design focused on creating pedestrian connections to existing and proposed adjacent buildings, providing ADA accessibility, and meeting the University design standards to create a cohesive campus design.
The Dining Hall will meet a minimum of Silver Certification when complete.
