Design for the U.S. Forest Service at Sherando Lake Recreation Area

Our architecture, interiors, and civil teams are making great progress on the design for renovation, rehabilitation, and construction of multiple facilities at the Sherando Lake Recreation Area in George Washington and Jefferson National Forest. Often referred to as the Crown Jewel of the Blue Ridge Mountains, exceptional consideration has been given to the historic preservation of existing structures and maintaining the character and aesthetics of the recreation area and its facilities. Civil engineers are focusing on site improvements, restoring functionality to the boat launch, trails, and picnic areas with ABA accessibility standards a top priority.

Shout out to Hal Marvin, Tony Ruppard, Brian Broussard, Jody Blake, and Will McCarrick for their diligence moving this project along!

"My family and I moved down to North Carolina in 2021 from Long Island, New York. At the time, I only had one child and now I have two sons and one daughter. I have a lot of experience working in water and wastewater and dealing with regulatory agencies, and I'm looking forward to developing my engineering skills and knowledge here at Atriax."

Atriax was a sponsor of the Rotary Club of Morganton’s first annual 5k Zombie Run and 1-mile Family Fun Run. The event was scheduled for October 12 at the Catawba Meadows Park and Greenway. Unfortunately, Hurricane Helene decimated the venue just before the race. As a major-level “Lurker” sponsor, Atriax pivoted and donated its sponsorship to the Burke County Disaster Relief Fund.
