Walkthrough of a Standard Floor at the Atlanta Tech Village

With our 4th floor complete at the Atlanta Tech Village, we can now visually highlight many of the elements and explain some of the thinking behind them. The 4th floor is our first finished floor and we’ve already identified a dozen smaller items we’ll be changing for the exact replica 3rd and 5th floors, but we’re pleased with how everything came together. Also, with tenants moving in, we’ll also have tons of feedback over the next few weeks that we’ll take into account for the other floors.

Here’s a walkthrough of the main elements.

Elevator Lobby

• Reclaimed hemlock wood from New Hampshire surrounding a 70″ TV that displays a directory of startups on the floor as well as community-related news

Kitchen

Another important feature is that there’s a locked connecting door between each suite that can be opened if two adjacent suites are rented by the same company, similar to adjoining hotel rooms.

In addition to the amenities described above, the building also has a shared conference center, classroom, community center, over-sized board room, video production room, and gym coming in March. Oh, and an Octane Coffee with a great outdoor patio.

Overall, the idea is to have a variety of shared and private spaces that promote collaboration and serendipitous interactions while allowing startups to scale and contract as necessary.
