Project Overview
The Holmes-Hunter Academic Building Renovation was a $21.5 million comprehensive renovation of a 50,929-square-foot historic structure at the University of Georgia in Athens. The building sits immediately adjacent to the iconic Arch on UGA's North Campus and houses student-facing functions including the Registrar's Office, Financial Aid, and several academic programs. As the largest historic building on North Campus, it serves as a landmark for nearly every student at the university. The client engaged PRESWERX to develop renderings, animations, and a coached interview presentation for the selection.
Client Challenges
The client needed to communicate their approach to a high-visibility historic renovation in a competitive live interview, backed by compelling visuals:
Visualizing the renovation of a landmark building in a way that honored its significance to the UGA community while conveying the scope and quality of the work.
Demonstrating a credible approach to renovating an active, student-facing building at the symbolic front door of a major research university.
Differentiating the team with a polished interview presentation supported by highquality renderings and animations.
The pursuit demanded an integrated approach across multiple deliverable types, from visual content to coached live delivery.
Scope of Work
PRESWERX delivered a comprehensive pursuit package for the University of Georgia's selection, combining photorealistic renderings, animations, a structured interview presentation, and coaching for the client's team. The renderings and animations captured the renovated Holmes-Hunter Academic Building in its historic North Campus context, conveying both the scope of the renovation and the quality of the finished environment. The interview presentation organized the team's qualifications and approach into a clear, evaluator-ready narrative. Coaching sessions prepared the team to deliver the material with confidence and engage UGA's evaluation panel with precision.
PRESWERX Approach
