Current Projects

River Oaks Regional Medical Center

Ecos has just launched the Design Development Phase of the campus wide improvements at River Oaks Regional Medical Center located in Flowood, Mississippi, just outside of Jackson.  The River Oaks Facility is currently in the design stages for a four floor Patient Wing and Emergency Department Addition.  As part of this project, Ecos will be creating multi-stage phasing plans to ensure patient access and site circulation to the hospital during the campus-wide renovation. Construction is expected to start in October of this year.

Monastery of the Holy Spirit

Ecos is part of a team that is developing a comprehensive plan for the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Rockdale County, Georgia. The plan is for The Monastery Restoration, the Retreat House/ Conference Center and the Public Gathering Space. The plan is slated for completion by the end of the year. Ecos has also been contracted by the Monastery to develop the second phase of the master plan for the entire property.

   

Coweta County

Since June of this year, Ecos Environmental Design has been leading a team of consultants working with Coweta County to create Implementation Tools to achieve the community desires identified in the County's Updated Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Growth Management Strategy. Presentation of the final twelve tools to the Board of Commissioners will occur in October and November.

 

Southface

With the shell almost fully constructed, the Southface Eco Office is well on its way toward completion. Most recently Ecos began coordinating the installation of the greenroof which is to be completed this fall. The new Eco Office will showcase state-of-the-art energy, water, and waste-reducing features, all of which are economical and market-ready. Ecos is proud to be a part of this project that plans to set the bar for innovative “green” building practices.

   

Tribute Lofts

Tribute Lofts, a mixed-use, multi-buillding complex, is tentatively set to be completed in February of 2007. The buildings will be connected by a three-story parking deck which houses a rooftop garden. The garden will span the top of the parking deck and will be visible from the upper floors of the buildings. The rooftop space will include courtyards and a fountain, and is broken up into three distinct areas to offer a variety of uses. Ground level retail and studio live / work apartments will have frontage on John Wesley Dobbs Avenue and Boulevard. Decorative paving patterns and textural plant materials are used along the street to create a visually appealing site for this urban Atlanta loft project.

   

Cabbagetown Park

Cabbagetown Park was completed in the fall of 2005 and dedicated earlier this year.  The park’s first public gathering,, the Cabbagetown Chomp & Stomp, a community festival and chili cook-off , brought a lot of positive feedback from the neighborhood. This once derelict piece of land in the heart of the Cabbagetown is now a thriving park and a welcome addition to this flourishing urban neighborhood.  Over 125 new trees were planted on just over three acres. Sidewalks, seatwalls, park benches, an amphitheater, lighting, and drinking fountains are just some of the amenities that enhance this gem of a park.
