Smooth-Sailing Windward Commons Creates Campus Enhancements For Armstrong Atlantic State University - Hardin Construction Beats Schedule, Budget,
ATLANTA, GA - When Armstrong Atlantic State University (AASU) freshmen move into the new Windward Commons residence hall in August, they'll also get to enjoy a few unplanned campus amenities-thanks to the project team's tight collaboration and prudent budget and schedule management.
The main attraction, of course, is state-of-the-art Windward Commons. Developed specifically for freshmen, the residence hall features suite-style living for 569 students in a complex with two four-story wings and a central lobby, two full kitchens, a game room, two smart classrooms, wireless Internet, and a 527-space parking lot.
Begun in summer 2009, the building received its Certificate of Occupancy June 1, 2010 and was completed in July. Hardin Construction, which has built more than 5 million square feet of higher education facilities, was the construction manager-at-risk for Windward Commons.
'Smoothest project ever'
"It was probably the smoothest construction project we have ever done at Armstrong Atlantic," said Dr. Vicki McNeil, AASU vice president for student affairs. "It more than met our expectations."
McNeil cited wise management and close collaboration by a budget-conscious team for the project's success. "Our communication was very transparent," she said. "What really makes it work is when you have companies like Hardin Construction that are willing to listen and to make it work, no matter what it takes."
Budget savings and ahead-of-schedule progress on Windward Commons made other campus enhancements possible, including a 1,000-foot pedestrian walkway connecting the new parking lot to campus; revitalization of a student amphitheater and a fitness trail; and an overhaul of the existing parking area.
The project team also included University Housing Services of St. Petersburg, Florida, the project developer, and HADP Architecture of Atlanta, the architect of record.
Students are scheduled to move into Windward Commons August 12 and 13.

English is becoming the universal language, why don't many Hispanics acknowledge that?
In China, Japan, and Korea they use English as the second language and kids spend all their years in school learning it.I am glad that it is.Things run much more smooth if everyone speaks a common language. But I wish it would also be that way in Mexico. At school I am forced to learn eiher French or Spanish. Spanish to accomadate immigrants and French I guess because most people consider it to be a beautiful language. But I think Japanese is a more beautiful language than French or Spanish yet no pulic schools offer it, and it is rare in college. I guess I just wish hispanics would understand that English is becoming the universal language and they need to learn something new and not thinkbe so rigid about their third world hispanic culture. I wish hispanics wouldn't push their opinions and say that english sounds 'inelegant, and clunky' its just their opinion. I'm sure some people think Japanese sounds stupid, thats their opinion. I just wish hispanics wouldn't be so demanding.
Pero que paso contigo? Se parece como usted está teniendo un día muy malo?
Hispanics do not need to acknowledge English as a universal language. Maybe the imperialist white man should have learned to speak Cherokee or Lakota when plopped their fat they arses on American soil.
If your public school ONLY offers Spanish and French, it is probably becuase those are the only two languages they could get instructors for. It has NOTHING to do WITH accomidating ANYONE.
I attended a public high school and was offered Russian, Japanese, Spanish, German, Mandarin as well as French.
I don't know what part of the woods you live in, but almost all colleges offer foreign language aside from French and Spanish.
I am not sure what is stemming your animosity towards hispanics but you should try and overcome it. You obviously have lived a life that lacks diversity as your views of latin culture is severely distored.
There is no need to feel that latinos are so demanding. It truely appears that you have some inferiority complex toward those that speak spanish. 
Your comments are not backed by anything of true substance except negative emotions. Did you have a latin friend that hurt your feelings? Did you fall for a beautiful latina that decided she was not interested in you?
Please try to be a bit more open minded when acknowledging other cultures. You miss out on alot when you focus on the negative.
