Ponce Terminal
This project is a pro bono project completed by the 2016 Gensler Atlanta summer interns. Our client, Midtown Alliance, needed a working model for developing an entire city block into a workable development model to pitch to developers as a way to create a unique pedestrian activated retail and restaurant environment with additional greenspace while also providing a multi-use tower with 300 residential units and the accompanying parking and infrastructure needed to support the whole development.
Roles and Responsibilities: As Co-leader of the University Outreach Program my role is oversight of the project and team, in essence a project manager. The Summer Internship Team is a highly fluid team, and everyone has a hand in everything. My responsibilities include establishing contact with potential clients for selection of a pro bono project; selection of the client and project to be developed; recruitment and selection of the intern team; creating the project syllabus, program, and schedule in collaboration with the client; logistics with office leadership, studio leaders, studio admin, and office schedule; technical and design expertise/support and reviews; and point of contact for the client relationship.
