Georgia Tech TSRB Showcase
May 5,2016
Built in 2002, the Technology Square Research Building (TSRB) is a 5-floor, 400-occupant mixed use facility containing office, retail, research, data center, and conference space. The building sits on the campus of Georgia Tech Research Institute and is owned by The University Financing Foundation, Inc. (“TUFF”) and operated by Gateway Facility Services, LLC. It is occupied by Georgia Institute of Technology’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and College of Computing.
TSRB was originally built by TUFF as part of the revitalization of the Technology Square neighborhood. At the time, Georgia Tech was looking to expand their footprint and the mostly vacant underdeveloped area across the highway held potential to connect the campus with the City of Atlanta. Georgia Tech partnered with TUFF to develop TSRB as part of 1.3 million sq. ft. of academic, office, research space, restaurants and retail with the plans to attract private sector development. The project has been extremely successful in creating a community of large companies, start-ups, students and researchers.
In 2011, TSRB became one of the initial participants in the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge (ABBC) when the program launched. The building, already undergoing a series of retrofits, benefited from a free building assessment complimentary of the ABBC.
