Winter carried out a 45,000 square-foot restoration and renovation in one of the oldest skyscrapers in the United States. The renewed building provides flexible, high-tech office space for entrepreneurs, corporations, and academia.

The scope of work included roof and elevator replacement, exterior waterproofing, asbestos abatement, installation of new mechanical systems, and other renovations to the interior spaces.

The renovation work uncovered unique elements of this early steel frame structure, built in 1897 in downtown Atlanta.

The Environmental Resources Management 14,000 square-foot build-out was a Class A office project built at the Wildwood Towers in the East Cobb area. Work on the office included building out the common area corridors for the 15th floor. The fast-track project also included high-end detailed walls, millwork, and flooring. The floor plan included a long radius feature wall that extends over half the length of the space. The floors above and below in the Cousins Properties building were occupied throughout construction, so extra work was required for the extensive cabling done underneath the ERM floor to feed several floor boxes. Despite the challenges, Winter’s team completed the project on time and on budget by working overtime and through the holidays. While Winter was performing construction work, regular business hours were maintained on the surrounding floors.

Winter completed two projects for Xaviant: an office renovation and an expansion. Winter was awarded the second project because Xaviant was so pleased with the team’s performance on the renovation. For the first project, all renovation work was performed in an occupied environment; therefore, noisy work had to be coordinated with adjacent tenants in order to avoid disruption of operations. Renovation of the 9,300 square-foot space included new ceilings, luxury vinyl floors, carpet tile, wood trim, CAT 6 data lines, pre-furnished doors, new HVAC system, operable partitions, access controls, expansion joints, and full height windows. Work included the president’s and officers’ suites, programmers’/artists’ work stations, product test room, recording room, training room, full breakroom, single offices, computer room, storage room, conference rooms, lobby, and reception area. Following the renovation, Winter completed a 5,000 square-foot expansion, creating space for 50 new workstations, an information technology office, special operation workstations, white noise system, full height glass panel entry doors, secondary breakroom, access controls upgrades, library, and pantry.

Winter Construction’s office is a Class A office space on the 21st floor of 191 Peachtree Tower. As a result of Winter’s commitment to sustainability, its office achieved LEED Gold Certification. The 23,000 square-foot buildout included the addition of new mechanical and electrical systems; new carpet and cork flooring furnishes; and new wall furnishes, including paint, fabric wrapped panels, tile, and wood paneling. To achieve a bright, open office and facilitate a collaborative environment, all offices have daylight views and glass partitions.

Winter served as general contractor for the full renovation and interior build-out of the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta. Winter installed new systems along with all new finishes in the four-floor facility. Winter installed a new roof, new site lighting package, covered walkways, and other site improvements. The new facility features multiple conference rooms, an employee cafeteria, climate controlled archive storage, and a full chapel for events.
