Kennesaw State University Prillaman Hall

Our knowledge helped to educate more nurses.

The initial space constraints meant that only 1 in 9 qualified applicants to this School of Nursing was accepted to the programme. Gleeds provided project management for the construction of a new, state-of-the-art facility that was awarded LEED® Gold Certification, enabling 250 much-needed nurses to graduate each year. 

A healthier future

Prillaman Hall houses the WellStar School of Nursing, the Department of Social Health, Physical Education and Sport Science Department – and produces some of the state’s top nurses. It’s only fitting that the building helps care for the environment. Sustainable features include:  

• Motion-detection lighting
• Recycled wood and locally produced bricks used in construction
• Low-flow toilets

An environment built for learning

The 18,581m² building enables students to access academic programmes that support careers related to biomedicine, biotechnology, veterinary care, dental care, pharmacy, fitness and wellness. A number of Prillaman Hall’s features enhance student learning, including:

• 1,208m² of nursing laboratory space

• 4 computer laboratories and a 511m² auditorium

• A 56 m² reading room for quiet study
