Last night was the official opening and ribbon cutting ceremony for The Arena At Southlake, Georgia's newest mid-sized arena. AH&P is proud to have provided the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering for the new building. More than just a performance venue, built and owned by Clayton County Public Schools as a multi-use facility to serve their students and their community. The arena will serve as their convocation center and also houses a JA of Georgia Delta Discovery Center and a Student Creator Studio that will be used by students throughout the school year. CCPS partnered with TRP Now to manage the arena itself, which will hosts all kinds of performances, conventions, and various competitions. The ribbon cutting ceremony was hosted by Rashan Ali and featured music from the Jonesboro HS and Morrow HS marching bands and remarks from various CCPS board members, current and former superintendents, and other community leaders. Here are a few photos from the ribbon cutting and there are additional photos in the link below. Stay tuned for a more thorough photo gallery and video of the entire facility.
