Dedicated to the memory of Anna Sue Shaw, Anna Shaw Children’s Institute is a leader of care for children who experience the challenges of developmental delays. The Institute is built in the style of a treehouse with every detail designed to provide an inviting, comfortable place. Children and families are able to receive diagnoses, treatment, therapy services, and support all under one roof.

Peeples Cancer Institute is a state-of-the-art four-story building that consolidates many steps of the cancer treatment journey into one location. Complete with a medical oncology clinic, the new facility consolidates radiation oncology, outpatient infusion, and diagnostic imaging services, this integrated system promotes physician collaboration and improved patient care. 

Designed with care by ESA Architects in collaboration with a selection of patients, families, engineering, and more, the space was carefully designed to best support the healing journey. Details like access to natural light, views of the surrounding landscape, familiar materials, and colors to promote a feeling of peace and comfort.

Pearl Mini-IVF Fertility Clinic converted a former bank suite into an IVF clinic to support the local community. Chosen for its central location, the building had to be heavily adapted to fit the temperature, humidity, and equipment requirements needed for the clinic. Once the logistical part of the space was complete, the team envisioned a warm, colorful, inviting space that would make patients and staff feel welcome. Through the use of natural colors and vibrant murals, they designed the perfect space.

Located just an hour north of Atlanta, the University of North Georgia's Dahlonega campus is a gem nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. As one of five campuses across the state, it serves nearly 20,000 students and offers an award-winning ROTC program, among other opportunities.

The Dahlonega campus has long been known for its extensive business program. Now, with a commitment to further investment, the university sought to create a dedicated space for its College of Business. This new center would bring together courses in Accounting, Business Management, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Marketing, Computer Science, and Cybersecurity under one roof.

Thanks to a generous donation from Mike and Lynn Cottrell, the Cottrell Center for Business, Technology, & Innovation was established as the new home for the Mike Cottrell College of Business, ensuring the university's continued ability to support students and faculty in their pursuit of excellence in the business world.
