A few weeks ago, you may recall that we shared the latest ranking from The Economist, a highly regarded weekly magazine published out of London, which crowned Atlanta the most livable city in the United States. It may have come as a surprise to some, but for those of us who know and love Atlanta (it’s MillerClapperton’s home city), we’re not surprised by the city’s growing notoriety. What started as a humble brag has become an affirmation of what many of us have known all along. There’s a lot to like about it!
Atlanta is in the spotlight once again – not only earning the top spot in Money Magazine’s ‘Best Places to Live’ list, but also as the best city in the U.S. for working remote according to CoworkingCafe. With excellent colleges, a great culinary scene, and championship sports teams (Go Braves!), culturally and economically, Georgia’s capital is miles above the rest. We’re honored to be a part of building the iconic places that make Atlanta a special place to both live and work. You can read the full article from Money below or click the links above to read the others.

Liberty University’s top-ranked dining hall has earned the #1 spot two years in a row (BestColleges.com) and the University’s new main dining facility, the Reber-Thomas Dining Hall is currently under construction. The 120-000-square-foot, two-story building, will offer 40% more interior space than the current Food Court with peak capacity for 2,700 seats. The new dining hall incorporates more natural light, which is achieved through the entire front of the building being glass. MillerClapperton will fabricate and install 3,300 square feet of Metal Composite Material for the project, which is scheduled to open next Spring.

“The United States is full of beautiful small towns. Though large metropolises like New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, or Washington, DC, are often thought of as culture and beauty capitals, this doesn’t mean other locales can’t be beacons of these qualities too. All across the county, locals and tourists alike are drawn to these charming enclaves where beauty takes shape in the form of lakes, mountains, historic main streets, forests, architectural splendor, and beaches, among other picturesque qualities. From a California community known for its celebrity residents to an indie-shopping hotbed in New York; from Washington’s San Juan Islands to plush inland communities along lakes and within forests—here are the 55 most beautiful small towns in America.”

“It’s hard to imagine a person who doesn’t love and crave taking vacations, but architects and designers very well may get more out of them than most. For an overworked creative, the benefits of exploring the globe aren’t just limited to reviving and de-stressing a frazzled mind, important as that is—traveling can also inform and inspire future output. Indeed, when Architectural Digest asked a dozen busy and prolific interior designers and architects for their favorite travel destinations, near or far, most answers involved aesthetics. There’s no doubt places like Italy and Japan figure heavily, though several cite tropical paradises and adventures of extraordinary natural beauty. Here, plentiful ideas for your next journey—domestic or international—with must-sees and -dos for a guaranteed marvelous time.”
