Goode Van Slyke Architecture presents ‘GVSA On Topic’ – A Lecture and Discussion Series Addressing Architecture and Urbanism in Atlanta.

We were thrilled to kick off our ‘GVSA On Topic’ series with the event Terminus & Tomorrow: History and Opportunity in Atlanta’s Railroad Gulch.

The evening took a deep dive into the fascinating history of Underground Atlanta and the Railroad Gulch, exploring the exciting projects transforming this iconic space into a vibrant neighborhood. GVSA’s own Jeff Morrison led the discussion, uncovering layers of history beneath Atlanta’s streets while sharing updates on projects reshaping the heart of the city.

Special thanks to our guest speakers—April Stammel, Lyle Baldes, and Jacob Vallo—who enriched the conversation with their insights and updates on the transformation of South Downtown.

This event was presented in partnership with the Atlanta Design Festival, which celebrates and connects creative industries, showcasing Atlanta as a global hub of innovation. We are grateful to all who joined us, from friends and colleagues to design professionals, and we look forward to welcoming you to our next lecture in the series!

The Enmarket Arena in Savannah, Georgia, is now open and is being hailed as the largest public works project in the city’s history. This new venue, which officially opened on February 5th, is expected to bring a wide range of music, sports, and entertainment experiences to Southern Georgia. The opening ceremony, which included a community day and ribbon-cutting event, attracted hundreds of attendees.

One of the architectural firms involved in the design of the Enmarket Arena is Goode Van Slyke Architecture, which is based in Atlanta. GVSA served as an associate architect on the project, working alongside the design lead firm Perkins&Will. Their contributions to the project included designing various aspects of the building, including non-public areas like operations offices and visitor lockers, as well as many of the public areas located on the concourse and overlook levels. This collaboration between architectural firms has resulted in the creation of a significant new entertainment and sports venue for the Savannah community.
