Join us in welcoming two new additions to the 2km team! Julia Jones joins us after recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Georgia Tech. We are excited to see her passion for thoughtful design. A fun fact is that she loves gardening and woodwork! Erin Davis is a rising senior at Georgia State University pursing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design. She brings creativity and fresh perspective. One fun fact is she loves thrifting! We look forward to the contributions they’ll make as they continue to grow with our team😇

We are proud to showcase the newly renovated lobby at Wellstar Children’s Hospital of Georgia. From updated finishes and improved functionality more engaging elements throughout, every detail was carefully considered to create a comforting environment for those who need it most. Thank you to @gachildrens and the entire project team for the opportunity to help bring this vision to life. #augusta #childrenshospital #architecture

Doors seem simple — but in design, they’re anything but. Every choice, even something as “small” as the type of door used, impacts how people move, interact, and stay safe within a space. Small design decisions make a big difference. #architecture #design

For the CHoG Expansion Competition, the proposed 5-story addition was designed to enhance both functionality and experience — housing critical care units while improving site visibility, circulation, and patient comfort. Key strategies included extending the structure over the existing drip-off to create a flexible atrium space, strengthening the buildings presence along the main approach, and improving pedestrian connectivity. The result is a concept that prioritizes efficiency, accessibility, and a more seamless patient journey. #competition #architecture #healthcare

Targeted upgrades can significantly improve both performance and experience. This Cath Lab renovation included new imaging equipment, speciality lighting, and updated finishes throughout the suite. Enhancement extended beyond the lab install to supporting spaces, while color-changing LED cove lighting was integrated to improve patient comfort during exams. Completed: 2013 I Healthcare I 1,562 SF I $3.47M

Architects don’t earn licensure just for designing buildings that look good—we’re responsible for understanding the codes that protect health, safety, and welfare. In a recent meeting, we discussed how required setbacks (like a 10-foot separation from the property line) can help avoid the need for fire-rated exterior walls and windows. When applied correctly, these codes don’t just ensure safety—they can also reduce construction costs and simplify design decisions.

Tom Rehder, our Project Manager / Equipment Planner, has helped shape the culture we value today. His experience and consistency continue to make a lasting impact across projects and teams. One of his favorite projects, Wellstar Pediatric Renovations, reflects the kind of meaningful, specialized work he’s contributed to throughout his career.

A little knowledge to kick off your weekend💡🧠 #funfactfriday #explorepage #architecture

At 2KM, we recently coordinated the replacement of a Gamma Knife system—supporting Wellstar’s cutting-edge brain treatment technology. This highly specialized equipment delivers nearly 200 beams of precise radiation, targeting affected areas with surgical accuracy… without surgery. From structural coordination to mechanical and electrical upgrades, every detail mattered in creating a space that supports both performance and patient comfort. #augusta #healthcarearchitecture

Spend the day in the field with Chris Lehi, Contract Administrator! 4 projects, OAC meetings, lots of emails, and he still keeps everything on track.

In the wake of Hurricane Helen, communities across Georgia were left rebuilding. Projects like this park structure in Louisville, GA, show how thoughtful design can help restore spaces that bring people together — stronger, more resilient, and ready for the future 🌱

At 2KM, our size works in your favor. More access to mentorship. Less hierarchy. Stronger teams that actually stick around. We don’t just work on projects—we build relationships and carry that knowledge forward every time. Mid-sized. Maximum impact.

Fun Fact Friday 💡 The way a space makes you feel is not random. It is intentional design at work. #funfactfriday #builtenvironment #architecture

Where classic meets cutting edge. Augusta Plastic Surgery blends low-country architecture with modern design to reflect both its surroundings and the advanced care happening inside.

Fun Fact Friday 🥸 Before laser scanning, documenting buildings meant hours of manual measurements and sketches.Today, 3D scanners capture millions of data points in minutes — creating detailed digital models of real-world spaces. That data helps architects, engineers, and designers plan smarter, detect issues earlier, and visualize projects with precision. #3dscanning #architechture #funfactfriday

Welcome to the team, Shyanne! A senior at USC Aiken, Shy brings 3.5 years of experience to the Marketing Coordinator role. She joins 2KM with a passion for strategic growth, brand development, and meaningful engagement.

When a hospital can’t stop, design must adapt. This 16,840 SF Hybrid OR renovation was completed in carefully planned phases to minimize downtown in critical areas — delivering a new Hybrid Operating Room Suite, PACU/Prep Recovery, Core Desk, support spaces, staff lounge, and offices. Subtle linear and curved elements throughout the flooring and ceiling bring cohesion to a highly technical environment. Completed 2018. #healthcaredesign #medicalarchitecture #hospitalrenovation

Did you know there are only three colleges/universities in Georgia that offer architecture degrees? This spring, we’re visiting two of them as we look to connect with the next generation of architects who will help lead 2KM Architects into the future. On Friday, we had the opportunity to visit Georgia Institute of Technology and meet an impressive group of architecture students from all over the world. Their creativity, technical skill, and passion for the built environment were inspiring. We’re excited about the future of our profession and even more excited about the possibility of welcoming new talent to our team.

Great design doesn’t happen by accident. It is built through vision, precision, and countless thoughtful decisions. #architecture #designprocess #builtenvironment

🎀 Ribbon Cutting & Dedication – Wellstar Children’s Hospital of Augusta Lobby 🎀 It was a beautiful day to celebrate the ribbon cutting and dedication of the newly renovated Wellstar Children’s Hospital of Augusta Lobby! Several leaders shared inspiring words, including WMCGH President Ralph Turner, Pediatrics Chair Dr. Valera Hudson, Augusta University President Russell Keen, and Augusta Mayor Garnett Johnson — each highlighting the collaboration and dedication that made this project possible, from planning and funding to design and construction. A special moment of the ceremony honored Dr. Charles Howell, who played a pivotal role in the original planning and fundraising for the Children’s Hospital of Georgia. In recognition of his 40 years of service, the lobby was named in his honor, and Mayor Johnson declared October 13th as “Charles Howell Day” in the City of Augusta. We at 2KM Architects are deeply honored to have designed this beautiful new space — a place we hope provides a happy distraction for children and families as they enter for treatment. 💛 #2KMArchitects #WellstarChildrensHospital #HealthcareDesign #AugustaGA
