			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Academic and Performing Arts Building, designed by CDH Partners,  added classrooms, adminstrative and faculty offices a theater, music  department, a small library, seminar room and an art gallery to the  Kennesaw State campus. The design scheme separates performance and  instructional program elements in an elongated L-shape structure  bordering a wooded hillside. The lobby entrance is oriented to the  existing pedestrian circulation of the University. The 300 seat theater,  later renamed the Stillwell Theater, includes a 65 foot high working  fly-loft. The music department include rehersal spaces, and the art  gallery displays both student and professional artisits’ work.</p>

<p>If you have ever stepped foot in  the right lecture hall, the right  gymnasium, or the right school library, you  know how inspiring superior  <strong>education  architecture </strong>can be. The combination of  light and space, of color and line,  often means the difference between  students eager to learn, and students bored  with the demands of their  classroom.</p>
<p>At CDH Partners, our extensive  portfolio attests to our three decades of experience in <em>education architecture</em> and design. Whether  it be in small or large communities, or in urban  or rural environments, the  collaborative nature of all of our projects  demonstrates the attention to  detail and care we bring to each and  every commission. Our <a href="http://cdhpartners.com">education architects</a> work not only with you and your community, but  also with our extensive staff.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the addition of the Ronnie Green Heart Center, an Intensive Care  Coronary Unit, and the W.D. Stribling Heart Clinic, an Outpatient  Facility, Northeast Georgia Medical Center has moved forward in making  complete coronary care available in two adjacent buildings. The Green  Center provides seventeen beds for patients recovering form open-heart  surgery and cardiac interventions, such as angioplasty and stent  placement. The surgical area includes two open-heart surgery rooms with a  medical prep room. The Stribling Clinic provides a complete range of  diagnostic cardiac services, including vascular lab, cardiology lab with  EKG and two procedure rooms, echo and stress testing and nuclear  medicine.</p>

<p>By the nature of the rigors in the  industry, <em>interior design for hospitals</em> rewrites the most basic of design rules. Yet this does not require that  the  finished product is dull or uninspiring. On the contrary, the form  of <em>medical interior design</em> has taken on a  new face, a face  that leaves plenty of room for comfort, artistic integration,  and of  course, the digital component.</p>
<p>With experience comes innovation.  At CDH Partners, we have over three decades of experience working in <strong>interior design for hospitals</strong>.  We have  worked in rural and urban environments, as well as projects  both large and  small in scope. We know how to best plan and implement  the right <a href="http://cdhpartners.com/">medical interior design</a> to benefit  patients, families, employees, researchers, and the communities that support  them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since 1981, CDH has served as the architect for over twenty significant  projects for the Wellstar Kennestone Health Care System. Completed  projects include a freestanding ambulatory urgent care center; women’s  services, outpatient surgery and oncology center, wellness center, day  care center, medical surgical nursing unit, laboratory expansion and  numerous renovations and expansions of ancillary and support spaces.

<p>The planning, implementation, and  building of any hospital complex  requires the utmost in experience in order to  ensure an end product  that can withstand the rigors of use for decades to come  while ensuring  the structures can accommodate ever-growing advances in technology.   Because of the many facets inherent in these projects, and the necessity  for  perfection, only the most experienced <strong>hospital  architects</strong> should be consulted. In fact, at CDH Partners, we firmly believe  that enlisting a team of professionals is the <em>best</em> approach for success, and that&#8217;s why our <em><a href="http://cdhpartners.com/">hospital architects</a> </em>work closely with our:</p>

<li>engineers</li>
<li>interior  designers</li>
<li>construction  managers</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Located near the entry of Callaway Gardens, this peaceful site provided  the inspiration for master planning the site. A 400 seat Worship Center  sets the tone for further campus development through the use of natural  materials of stone, concrete, wood, and glass. A contemporary  interpretation of a traditional Catholic church is expressed with  transepts on either side of the sanctuary. This feature is accentuated  by an open cupola positioned over the sanctuary as a source of natural  light. A large series of windows on the northern exposure of the nave  merge the picturesque outdoor setting with the serenity of the interior  space.</p>
<div id="attachment_107" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 594px"><a href="http://cdhpartners.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/File-in_03022_-_-_worshipspaceDay.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-107" title="christthekindcatholic" src="http://cdhpartners.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/File-in_03022_-_-_worshipspaceDay.jpg" alt="" width="584" height="381" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Christ the King Catholic Church</p></div>
<p>Growth is the hope of every  congregation, and so <em>church building  designs </em>must  take space into consideration. For instance, how many current  members  of the congregation exist? What must be done to ensure you account for   handicapped members of the congregation? Is the <strong>church building design </strong>something that will be integrated into a  neighborhood, or a stand-alone structure on a large amount of land?</p>
<p>At CDH Partners, our approach  means every angle is examined,  even in the earliest stages. That&#8217;s why every  commission starts with  the community, not with our company. We listen closely  to the people  behind the projects, leveraging our expertise with their vision.  We  believe the results speak for themselves. Our extensive portfolio of  <a href="http://www.cdhpartners.com">church building designs</a> can be viewed  online, including plans for  buildings not yet completed and finished projects.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Originally constructed in 1966 and three subsequent additions over the  next thirty-five years led to a Needs Assessment to determine the best  future use of the facility. A portion of the school dubbed the  “earth-shelter” by the school district will be saved. This 1985 addition  is constructed with reinforced concrete allowing earth to be piled on  the roof structure and bermed against the walls. The renovation will  remove this “false” insulation from the roof and walls to eliminate  long-term moisture issues and be reconditioned with a complete interior  renovation and new roof structure. The balance of the existing campus  will be demolished. A new series of core and classroom spaces will  augment the existing fifteen classrooms in the salvaged portion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This colonial design church with Palladian windows, generous use of  painted millwork and rich detailing provides seating for 1200 in the  Worship Center. The liturgical worship format directed the design team  to include a large platform accommodating a processional party. The  choir and church’s refurbished pipe organ are in a loft to the rear of  the nave. Practically invisible audio and video capabilities ensures  that technology does not become a distraction to worshippers. Almost  unnoticed are two large retractable screens, a control booth discretely  located in the loft, and a hidden catwalk above the ceiling.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Every great structure begins with  a vision. A project of great  magnitude, like a chapel, church, or house of  worship, begins with the  right <strong>church  architect</strong>. These skilled individuals help  make up the backbone of these  great structures, and help guide you and  your congregation through the entire  building process.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">At CDH partners, our <a href="http://www.cdhpartners.com">church architects </a>are part of our  skilled staff that includes not only <em>church  architects</em>,  but engineers, interior designers, support staff, and  construction  managers.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Intermediate School is situated on a twenty-six acre tract,  representing the first phase of a 126 acre Master Plan. The plan  provides for an elementary school, middle school, district offices,  warehousing/maintenance facilities and a county recreational center. The  new school was specifically designed for 800 students in grades four  and five and in houses thirty-two classrooms which are supported by the  Media Center, Cafeteria/Food Services, an Administrative Suite and  Gymnasium. It is designed with footprint space for twelve additional  classrooms. White County Intermediate School is sited to take full  advantage of the spectacular backdrop of Mount Yonah and the Nachoochee  Valley.</p>

<p>Making the match between your  expectations and the right <em>education  architects</em> can be a challenge, as well as coordinating the rest of the  building project. While some <a href="http://cdhpartners.com">education  architecture</a> commissions start from the ground up, many are in fact  additions to  current structures. These projects require expertise from every  angle  ensuring that the new buildings don&#8217;t just complement the design of   existing <strong>education architecture</strong>, but  also incorporate the most advanced techniques throughout to maximize space and  enhance the experience of those within.</p>

<p>The key to a beautiful,  functional, and exceptional building is never  in one particular ingredient.  It&#8217;s a combination, a synthesis, of many  aspects working as a whole. And  knowing that led us to perfect our  approach by offering so many services  essential to the most effective <a href="http://cdhpartners.com/">hospital  design</a> under one roof at CDH Partners.</p>
<p>It is so  much more than a simple matter of the right function, it is a melding of the  right <strong>hospital architecture</strong> and  design to provide a calm, safe, and secure environment. It takes  into  consideration not only the experience of the patient, but also  their family,  caretakers, and hospital staff.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The existing facility was constructed over a thirty-five year period and  budget constraints required that a 1990 wing and a 1999 four-pod  classroom addition remain intact. The existing wing contained a media  center, classrooms and gymnasium. Since 190 feet separate these two  structures, continuity required reconnecting the two with new  construction. The “H” shaped plan re-orients the entrance with a new  adjacency to the existing media center aligning public use and student  core spaces along the front wing of the “H”. The rear wing connects with  the new construction and carves out an interior plaza for outdoor  dining with tiered seating space for up to 120 students.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>KidsTown, has the old-world feel of a city street with storefronts, town  homes, and light poles. It features a children’s theater with an  asymmetrical split-thrust stage and carpeted seating steps with capacity  for 400 children. Carpeting and accent paint colors are black light  activated and offer a new dimension to the theater when black lights are  used.</p>

<p>A church is not simply a  structure with one purpose. No, depending  on desires of the congregation and  community, a church project may  include a sacred space intended to bring about  feelings of peace,  tranquility, and calm, or a dynamic space complete with  concert halls  and gymnasiums, classrooms and offices. And because every  congregation  has a completely different set of requirements when it comes to optimal <strong>church interior design,</strong> it&#8217;s  essential that when embarking on a new project you partner with experts  invested in  your vision.</p>
<p>Church designers run the gamut  throughout the industry, from  show-stopping “rock-star” types, to home-grown  firms with small  portfolios. The truth is that to ensure the final project  meets your  expectations, you must work with a company invested in <em>your</em> vision—not their own.</p>
<p>At CDH Partners, when we embark  on a project, we&#8217;re not only there  to provide the sketches, plans, and  specifications that result in a  completed project, but we also manage the many  aspects of systems  organization involved in the creation of a final, built  environment.  That means that every detail is attended by experts from our <a href="http://cdhpartners.com/">church designers </a>and architects, to our  engineers and construction managers.</p>
