Georgia Tech research-corridor expansion

The Georgia Tech research-corridor expansion is a $220M academic-infrastructure project on a multi-acre footprint north of campus. The scale and multi-building nature suggest extended perimeter security during construction, vehicle-barrier staging at entry points, and camera-array coverage across active zones. The academic research environment drives security requirements beyond typical commercial construction: equipment protection, after-hours access control, and researcher safety during occupied-phase work. Mobile surveillance towers fit the phased build-out, particularly for lay-down yards and unoccupied building shells before permanent systems come online. The announcement posted April 10 via Atlanta Inno. A $220M university project typically moves through internal budget approval, architect selection, and scope refinement over 6-12 months before formal solicitation. This is pre-budget timing, the optimal window for influencing security line-item scope before the facilities team locks vendor assumptions. Once the project manager drafts the RFP security appendix, displacement is difficult. The signal is early-stage announcement with usable lead time. Atlanta branch sits 1.9 miles from campus and covers the project comfortably. The first move is reaching Georgia Tech's facilities security director or the project executive overseeing the corridor expansion (both roles are public-record accessible via Georgia Tech's org chart). Lead with mobile-tower availability for the construction phases and propose a walk-through conversation on phased deployment as buildings come out of the ground.

  Saw the $220M research-corridor announcement April 10. Atlanta branch is under 2 miles out, worth a 15-minute call with your facilities security lead on phased mobile-tower deployment before the RFP security scope locks?
