Suzuki Office, Training & Distribution Facility Kennesaw, GA • 132,000 sf
Randall-Paulson Architects designed this build-to-suit project for developer Taylor & Mathis.
The facility contains approximately 8,000 sf of training shops and classrooms on the lower level for hands-on vocational training. The building also includes a mezzanine for 7,000 sf of second-story offices. The remaining area is devoted to warehouse space for cars, motorcycles, outboard engines and other products, including special storage capabilities for oil and tires.
The facility design features an economical tilt-up concrete wall system with interior steel framing. A double-height colonnade at the building entrance creates a high profile image. The building entry includes an atrium, a column-supported office mezzanine, a roof supported storage mezzanine, and a catwalk around the perimeter of the truck dock.
Design details include:
• Decorative pilasters and
horizontal bands are etched into
the concrete surface to add
architectural interest to the
facade
• The Suzuki “S” logo is “engraved”
into the surface of the main
entrance panel to add a
personalized element
