HEALTHCARE DESIGN SHOWCASE
ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL
Piedmont Marcus
Tower
Atlanta
SUBMITTED BY: HKS INC. (ATLANTA, CHICAGO,
AND DETROIT)
How can a strategic new gateway structure to
the existing campus provide much needed capacity
and resources (transactional) while also
creating an iconic destination in the South for
wellness, healing, and exceptional healthcare
(transformational)?
A threshold acknowledges that there is a
transition from one space to another while allowing
passage/exchange. The Marcus Tower
project created a transparent façade and an active
ground floor that engages the public realm
and commercial corridor with landscaped
plazas set up for events and wellbeing, a community
auditorium, and a cafe with outdoor
seating. Each façade of the tower is responsive
to the context and creates a dialogue/relationship
between Piedmont's values, its service to
its community, and brand commitment of The
Piedmont Way to its users.
Marcus Tower and the surrounding site has
been a catalytic addition to the Piedmont campus
and the public realm along Peachtree and
the intersection at Collier. The project has
exploited its accessibility by arterial and connector
roads, its adjacency to a sophisticated
commercial district and tight knit residential
neighborhoods, and its proximity to Atlanta's
biggest rehabilitation movement, the Beltline,
and underlines its importance as a Threshold
project to link, engage, interact/participate,
and contribute.
The transparency and activation of the ground
floor, plaza and site has created an incredible
area of respite, wellness, education, expression
of Piedmont Values and service, and a local pride
that was much needed in the surrounding chaos.
