BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) <br /> <br />Hosting the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games ignited a spirit of urban renewal <br />and civic pride in the City of Atlanta that inspired Centennial Olympic Park. The <br />21-acre park is a legacy to the vision and alliance of the City of Atlanta, the <br />State of Georgia, the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games, and the many <br />civic organizations, special interest groups and designers involved. Centennial <br />Olympic Park is designed as a permanent downtown revitalization feature. <br />Thematically, it imprints a landscape "quilt" into the fabric of city streets to <br />convey the cultural heritage of the American South and Atlanta's reputation as <br />the "City of Trees". <br /> <br />The pattern of existing city streets is woven into the park plan, creating <br />destination-bound pedestrian promenades. Located at the eastern gateway to <br />the Georgia World Congress Center/Georgia Dome complex, the park links <br />convention facilities to the city's lively hotel and market district. <br /> <br />Distinctive design features include the five-acre Centennial Plaza with its <br />centerpiece Olympic Ring Fountain, a 500-seat natural amphitheater, a <br />meandering multi-level water basin, eight 65-foot-talllight towers, and more <br />than 500,000 engraved commemorative brick pavers. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />As prime consultant for the project, EDAW led a 15-firm team, getting the <br />Phase 1, Pre-Olympic job done in only 18 months from design start through <br />construction completion, on schedule for Opening Ceremonies. During the <br />Games, the park served as the city's central festival space, visited by an <br />estimated 5.5 million people. <br /> <br />Post-Olympic construction, completed in March 1998, transformed Centennial <br />Olympic Park into Georgia's first urban state park, one of the most important <br />physical legacies of the Games. <br /> <br />We are currently working on additions to the park. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />25.
