Officially official 😎 GMC Senior Landscape Architect Jane Reed Ross has officially been inducted into the 2024 American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) Class of the Council of Fellows, one of the highest honors ASLA bestows on its members. Jane is a trailblazer when it comes to the innovation of vibrant greenspaces and how to connect those spaces in a way that enhances active lifestyles. It’s probable that the majority of residents in Birmingham, Alabama have experienced and benefited from her contributions, as she has worked with Tom Leader, FASLA, on Railroad Park and designed some of the most beloved public and private outdoor spaces in the Magic City and beyond, including Rotary Trail, the Birmingham Zoo, Homewood’s Central Park, Shades Creek Greenway and more. “I’ve experienced first-hand how important spaces like these are when it comes to building community and bringing people together,” said Jane “I am very honored to be awarded the ASLA Fellow and I share this honor with my colleagues at Goodwyn Mills Cawood who also embrace the goal of building communities.” Congratulations, Jane! 🔗 Learn more: https://bit.ly/3x4ZdHR #buildingcommunities #gmcnetwork #GMCAlabama #GMCBirmingham #landscapearchitecture #ASLAFellow

A fresh look. As part of Washington County Public Schools' goal of improving the look and feel of TJ Elder Middle School, GMC was tasked with providing a renovation concept that includes a new entry canopy with functional access to the building.

The renovation also includes a complete remodel of the media center, bringing light, texture and spaces that cater to various styles of learning and study. Overall upgrades for the project include new luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring, updated lighting, renovated restrooms, along with a new roof and kitchen equipment to bring the school into a new era of use and enjoyment.

"It’s showtime." Another PensaCan event in the books, with GMC taking home the “Best Use of Graphics” award for their design - Beetlejuice: Can-Tastic Spectacle. PensaCan is a yearly competition presented by AIA Florida Northwest and benefitting Manna Food Pantries to help demolish hunger and design hope. Each year, local businesses, architectural firms, organizations and amateur groups create impressive structures made entirely out of full cans of food. Following the week-long display of the structures and voting, all food is then donated to Manna for distribution to our neighbors in need in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. This year 14,479 healthy meals were provided. 🔗 Learn more: https://bit.ly/40qbKlt #buildingcommunities #GMCFlorida #GMCPensacola #PensaCan #architecture
