Richard Wittschiebe Hand | 9 halls, faculty offices, classrooms and more at Gwinnett Technical College in Lawrencev- ille, Georgia, a project that will ultimately qualify for LEED-Silver certification. This college is one of a number of academic in- stitutions which has been served by RWH. Wittschiebe credits a longstanding, collab- orative relationship with the visionary Board of Regents that oversee the state’s university system as one of the most important rela- tionships of her firm. She says the relation- ship has been fostered by her firm’s ability to work in a team approach with the Board of Regents, a process that requires extensive input and recommendations from diverse teams charged with oversight, and adhering to budgetary restraints without forsaking on the quality or functionality desired for the completed project. “Everyone one has certain expectations and requirements, but that is part of what makes it so enjoyable, to work with so many people in process ... but thankfully, they will also let you stretch on design as long as you can do it on budget,” Gwinnett Technical College (Cooper Carry, Photographer)
