Redeveloping the Holcomb Bridge Road Corridor

There are new codes in effect for the City of Peachtree Corners. I know most of you don't deal with building codes every day, but I thought it may be interesting for you to know where they come from and why we change.

The building codes are actually state-mandated, and are adopted at the state level by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA). After a new code cycle is adopted the DCA will hold hearings on state amendments to the code. Read More

Curiosity Lab has been privileged to work with two Paul Duke STEM High School students this academic year. They have each worked with one or more startups to learn and deploy valuable skills. Danielle Sophamisay is one of the interns (pictured) -- her story is below:

 

" My experience at the Curiosity Lab has been incredible. My internship with Insiten  has given me new insight into different areas of the business environment. I started with a programming boot camp where I was taught the basics of JavaScript and HTML. Then, I transitioned to the graphic design aspect of using Photoshop to make wallpapers and making a website aesthetically pleasing while still being user friendly. My favorite part would have to be the atmosphere at the Curiosity Lab. The wall art and decorations give it a fun and inviting feeling."
