an area with an abundance of amenitieswhere they already have a strong presence ofexperienced, skilled employees,” Chamberssaid. “The overall project is being designedto engage the public and function as privatespace the public can utilize. The overall con-nectivity within the campus, as well as toMARTA, and the exiting amenities andfuture parks in Dunwoody should create anenvironment unlike any in Atlanta or theSoutheast. KDC is committed to ensuringPark Center is a recruiting tool for StateFarm and a project the community canembrace.”Construction on the project began on site
in August 2014. There will be approximate-ly 4,000 workers on the project from start tofinish. “The property was previously occupied
by two former restaurants, each one story,and supporting parking areas,” said BryanTaylor, senior project manager of generalcontractor Holder Construction Company.“The property is located at the southeastintersection of Perimeter Center Parkwayand Hammond Drive.“Currently, mass excavation of the project
site along with temporary constructiondewatering to support earthwork operationsis taking place. The installation of theshoring wall system will begin during themonth of September. Demolition of the twoexisting structures has been completed,along with the clearing and grubbing of thesite and installation of erosion control to sup-port the start of excavation work on site.”Roughly 164,365 cu. yds. (125,666 cu m)
of material will be moved on the job.Equipment being used includes excavators,Komatsu loaders and dozers. Some of thematerials to be used on the project include58,000 sq. ft. (5,388.3 sq m) of temporaryshotcrete shoring wall system, 155,000 line-al ft. (35,052 m) of barrier cable rail, 71,000cu. yds. (54,283.3 cu m) of concrete, 5,500tons (4,989.5 t) of reinforcing steel, 1.3 mil-lion lbs. (589,670 kg) of post tension cablesand 135,000 sq. ft. (12,541.9 sq m) of exte-rior glass curtainwall system.“The parking structure encompasses the
site and will be broken down into multiplephases,” said Taylor. “The areas of the deckbelow the office tower will be completedfirst to support the schedule of the officetower. The areas outside of the tower foot-print will be sequenced to support the over-all schedule.”Some of the main tasks to be carried out
include foundations, structure, skin andbuild out. As for the retail space, it is still indesign for final layout.Weather has not been a factor regarding
excavation work, and there have been nocomplications to date.
The project is pursuing LEED certifica-tion from the U.S. Green Building Council,according to Chambers.“KDC is a recognized leader in develop-
ing environmentally sustainable campuses,and is committed to finding solutions thatreduce the impact of development to con-serve our environment for future genera-tions. We believe the LEED SilverCertification and the overall connectivity tothe existing and planned park system inDunwoody will be additional tools for StateFarm to attract and retain high-qualityemployees.” The overall sustainability program is still
being finalized. Tracking and documenta-tion during the construction phase of theproject on credits will be key, regarding theconstruction waste management plan, recy-cled content, regional materials, certifiedwood, the construction IAQ managementplan and low emitting materials.Cooper Carry & Associates is the archi-
tect for the shell building and interiors. “The location had a huge impact on the
design,” said Bill Halter, AIA, LEED AP.“The client wanted the building to be a partof the Dunwoody community and have astrong relationship to the MARTA station.Our vision was to create a state-of-the art-

workplace to assist State Farm with theirrecruiting and retention of employees, and tocreate a dynamic live-work-play environ-ment for both State Farm employees and theresidents and visitors of the Dunwoody com-munity.”Cooper Carry & Associates aimed to cre-
ate a sense of community through itsdesigns. “We did so by connecting two planned
parks on either side of the property with anew ‘community park’ that provides anurban space between the office and retailprogram,” said Halter. “This space willbecome the heart of the Park Center campus.“Our goal was to do a great job of inte-
grating a very large building into the scale ofDunwoody. State Farm challenged CooperCarry to be creative and bold. We decided totake the approach of a very simple buildingskin throughout and introduce four principlefeatures. “First, we ‘folded’ the plan to break up the
scale of the large floor plate. Second, weintroduced the horizontal and vertical ‘gas-
ket’ that defines the low-rise and high-riseportions of the building and the two distinctcores that serve each floor. Third, we createda street-level experience that is very trans-parent and interesting, to create a great streetvibe. We also introduced a new, and whatwill be a vibrant, people place access to theDunwoody MARTA station.”The biggest challenge for the design team
was fitting a very large and complex build-ing on a very tight site. Being respectful tothe environment was also a chief concernduring the creative process.“Cooper Carry approaches all our design
work with an attitude toward sustainableprinciples, so when State Farm asked forLEED Silver we were already in that mind-set. The site is a natural for sustainabledesign, because it had been previouslydeveloped and has the direct connection tothe MARTA Dunwoody station.”KDC formally broke ground on the Park
Center development in May 2014. A largegroup of dignitaries turned out for the event.“We are pleased to be part of this collabo-
rative project as we expand to a multi-func-
tional facility in metro Atlanta,” MaryCrego, senior vice president of State Farmtold reporters. “This is one of many changesto position State Farm to meet the evolvingneeds of our customers.”“State Farm’s decision to expand its pres-
ence here is a testament to our state’s com-petitive business environment,” Gov. NathanDeal said to the crowd. “One of the leadinginsurance providers in the nation, State Farmwill benefit from Georgia’s pro-businessinfrastructure, and our highly skilled work-force will help the company continue to pro-vide the highest levels of customer service topolicyholders. I welcome State Farm’sexpansion in Metro Atlanta and thank themfor bringing thousands of additional goodjobs to Georgia.”The first building will be located on a
seven-level parking structure. The new ParkCenter facility will serve as part of theAtlanta hub, housing employees who willwork collectively across several functions toserve customers. State Farm currentlyemploys approximately 5,500 people inmetro Atlanta, but plans to add additional
buildings over the next ten years, eventual-ly employing approximately 8,000 people inthe area. Its offices will serve as one of threemajor sites for the company, includingDallas and Phoenix, along with the corporateheadquarters in Bloomington, Ill. Dallas-based KDC has completed more
than 125 corporate build-to-suit office andindustrial projects valued at more than $3.5billion and totaling more than 27 million sq.ft. For Chambers and the entire developmentteam, watching this latest building come tolife is both rewarding and inspiring.“We envision buildings and offices that
foster a creative and collaborative environ-ment — open spaces and meeting areas, abright and new look and feel, comfortablegathering areas, and easily accessible ameni-ties.”The new office tower is expected to open
in late 2016.(This story also can be found on
