Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta

Interior build-out of the new headquarters location of the non-profit organization Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta (BBBSMA) at the MET Atlanta, an industrial warehouse space.

When BBBSMA decided to move its headquarters location from Midtown to be closer to the families it serves in southwest Atlanta, the organization hired Leapley Construction to build out the agile office environment at the historic campus. A long-time corporate sponsor of BBBSMA, Leapley partnered with C.D. Moody Construction and Carter USA to deliver the impactful community space. 

Leapley Construction oversaw the full transformation of the adaptive reuse project by leading interior demolition, floor leveling, architectural buildout, and MEP modifications.
