The Architecture Program at Georgia Tech will celebrate a century of architectural education with a series of events throughout the 2008-2009 academic year. Commemorating outstanding contributions of Georgia Tech architects in Atlanta and around the world, the lecture series, exhibitions and symposia will be free and open to the public.
Founded in 1968, Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates (TVS) quickly established itself as a leading architectural firm in the Atlanta community through its design of the Omni Sports Arena and the CNN Center. TVS then designed the Georgia World Congress Center and soon became a nationally recognized design firm by creating stimulating designs for convention centers across the U.S. that serve their communities as public gathering places. Convention centers have been completed in over 40 cities across America and the world.
Meanwhile the practice of TVS diversified into other markets throughout the world. Segments include hospitality, restaurant, corporate, retail, mixed-use, educational, public assembly and governmental buildings.
