Location: Atlanta, GA
Owner: Atlanta Public Schools
Project Description:
The Crawford Long Middle School project consist of the renovation
of four existing structures, Gymnasium, Cafeteria and Media Center
and the 20,000 square foot addition of a third level to the classroom
building for the City of Atlanta Capitol Needs rehabilitation
projects in urban Atlanta. The original structures
were constructed in 1951 and the Media Center was built in 1976.
As usual with old buildings, there are several existing conditions
that CDM had to overcome, i.e. aba 2007ndoned underground utilities,
defacing of old brick and mortar,moisture in existing S. O. G.
due to vapor barrier not being installed or required in 1951,
that enables your ability to core holds and add additional loads
to the floor slab during construction. To assure structural strength
of the existing structure CDM had to hire additional testing
agency and engineering consultants to assist in the evaluation
of means and methods to construction to incorporate the new design.
The addition of the third floor, the new design was to construct
massive footings and shear walls on the two existing levels to
accommodate the addition of the third floor. There was a great
deal of excavation that took place to install the footing and
shear walls to strengthen an old structure. The project was completed
in January 8th 2007 as scheduled and on budget.
Crawford Long Middle School Project is the receipient of the
2007 Urban Design Award of Excellence issued by the Atlanta Urban
Commission.

Size: 60,000 SF
Location: Stone Mountain, GA
Owner: DeKalb County Board of Education
Project Description:
DeKalb County Board of Education purchased a 20-year-old shopping center with the intent of converting it into an Alternative School. The shopping vender was still partially occupied by retail tenants. The project demanded extreme coordination due to the compressed 16 week schedule and the occupied retail space. When it was determined that the existing slab would not support the proposed masonry walls, C.D. Moody and the architect proposed the use of Fiberrock instead of CMU. This allowed C.D. Moody to achieve the schedule, but produced a substantial cost savings, allowing the Owner to incorporate additional scope into the project.

Owner: DeKalb County
Board of Education
Project Description:
The new construction involves two new three-story
classroom buildings, one story adminisitration area, science
labs, media center, and cafeteria theater area, that are located
to the rear of the property. Due to severe slope of the land
the three-story structures are virtually invisible from Second
Avenue, the front of the school. The exterior of the school
is a combination of dry stacked stone and cement board siding.
The original building has a membrane roof while the three-story
classroom buildings have an attractive asphalt shingle roof.
The combination of siding, stacked stone, and asphalt shingles
allow for this facility to blend in very nicely with the neighborhood
homes. The exterior of the building is further enhanced by
the use of a storefront punched window opening. The new school
is designed on a residential scale which blends into the neighborhood
atmosphere.
The Design/Build
project scope involved the demolition of the existing school.
The entire facility
is new construction.
