EUE/Screen Gems Studios, a movie and TV series studio and sound stage provider to the film industry, recently signed a 50 year lease with the City of Atlanta for the Lakewood Fairgrounds property. The property included several buildings built in the 1940’s in need of extensive renovation. Screen Gems Studios selected Griffco Design/Build to provide turnkey planning, engineering and construction services for two major renovation projects for Sound Stage #4.

The first project included the renovation of a 13,000 SF movie theater into a sound stage and 4,000 SF of offices. The sound stage renovation included the in-fill of large windows with block, adding sound blankets, floor leveling and adding an acoustical drop ceiling. A dressing room, hair and makeup room, closet and restroom was created behind the staging area and renovations to the entrance way, office and additional restrooms were also provided.

The new office space includes multiple offices, break room, conference room, viewing room and remodeling of the restrooms.
