The state of Georgia’s first new Life Plan retirement community takes a holistic philosophy that guides every aspect of life and living at Presbyterian Village Athens. At the center of their philosophy is the concept of connection. When engaged to design facilities for this new community, Batson’s design approach embraced the idea of holistic and connected living. Thoughtful study was given to the location and orientation of facilities within the 72-acre campus. The Village Center, 100-room Health Services Pavilion and 100 Independent Living Apartments were all located to promote connection and engagement in every activity throughout a diverse offering of amenities.
The centerpiece of the connected campus is the 186,500 SF Village Center and Health Services Center. The Village Center connects community members through several kitchen/dining venues, a 200-seat auditorium, chapel, fitness center, indoor pool, physical therapy, library and learning center, as well as a pub with billiards. The Health Services Center is a three-story structure which includes a memory care unit, a skilled nursing unit, and an assisted living unit.
