Summer Road Trip!

Are you planning a U.S. National Park tour this summer or a road trip with family and friends? If so, you might find yourself stopping by the new Blue Ridge Parkway Visitor Center, which serves the area from the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee - designed by architecture firm Lord, Aeck & Sargent.

The team at LAS also designed the new Discovery Center and Ben Brady Lakeside Pavilion at the Chattahoochee Nature Center. Both the Visitor Center and the Discovery Center are targeting LEED Gold certification.




Thanks to Vikram Sami from Lord, Aeck & Sargent for submitting these case studies!

    Nice work have done/posted a couple models of historic buildings from smaller national parks that have logo inks to the park.
