University of Georgia Lamar Dodd School of Art
In designing an approach for the Lamar Dodd School of Art,
Pond | Ecos opted to transform stormwater into a visual and functional amenity, engaging students, faculty and staff in the natural process of storm events. Stormwater begins its journey from the curvilinear roof on the building’s primary façade and then falls to the ground behind low granite walls that protrude from the structure’s foundation. Openings in the wall allow the water to visibly spill out and flow into a series of bioretention areas.
