Russell Claxton, AIA |
In the first overall addition and renovation project since its construction in 1959, Russell Claxton designed the transformation of the Middle Georgia Regional Airport in 2001-2003. His design for the airport project included major restructuring of the landside passenger pickup, drop-off and parking facilities, with greatly overhauled security requirements due to 9-11. The firm was Associate Architect with Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback for the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame. He designed streetscape enhancements of Macon’s historic College Street. He designed the 2005 pedestrian enhancements to Second and Mulberry Streets in Macon, and Macon’s Civic Square. Realignment of streets and landscaping were employed to better define and contain this historic space, make it more walkable, and improve its traditional function of civic gatherings in front of City Hall. He has designed major traffic corridor enhancement for landscape and pedestrian amenities for Forsyth Street and for Pine Street in Macon. In 1998, he designed Macon’s Cherry Street Square, located adjacent to the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame, Terminal Station, and future Tubman Museum. He developed, with W.P. Thompson, FAIA, a substantive street improvement plan for Macon that was funded in a November 1994 sales tax referendum. The plan addresses access and circulation for a four and one-half square mile intown area. He led a team of Georgia architects in the Southeastern Regional Transportation Conference in 1993. The charette proposed bicycle and pedestrian facilities for a two-mile route linking the Martin Luther King Center and Georgia Tech. This project was implemented prior to the 1996 Olympic Games. As project designer, he developed the Core Boulevard plan for the City of Dallas with James Pratt, while with Pratt Box Henderson. The plan established a landscaped boulevard system linking downtown, Fair Park and Baylor Hospital. |
