Hansen Architects, a Savannah-based award-winning architectural and interior design firm, is leading the design of the new Camden County campus of Coastal Pines Technical College in Kingsland, Ga., one of the many higher education institutions in Southeast Georgia the firm has been behind. This announcement comes on the heels of a recent groundbreaking ceremony to commemorate the event.

In addition to Coastal Pines Technical College, Hansen Architects has been entrusted with the master planning, renovations and additions of many colleges and universities, including Savannah Technical College, South University and Savannah College of Art and Design.

“When we work with a client, especially a college or university, we build relationships with these institutions that reach beyond the design of a campus or building,” said Gene Maria, Senior Principal and project architect. “We strive to find an identity for a new campus or within an existing campus, that speaks to the image of the college or university and the student body it aims to attract.”

Scheduled to open in August 2020, Coastal Pines Technical College is a 62,000-square-foot structure boasting classrooms, lecture rooms, a welding lab, industrial systems and electronic technology lab, computer labs and a library. The new Technical College System of Georgia campus is aimed at creating job training and growth in the region.
