IBM Building Implodes to Make Way for New North Atlanta High.
A demolition team imploded one of the buildings at the former IBM campus on Northside Parkway to make room for the new North Atlanta High, which will be constructed on the site.
Around 7:45 a.m. on Saturday, Atlanta Demolition imploded one of two buildings at the former IBM Campus, located at 4111 Northside Parkway NE in Atlanta. The demolition of the Hillside Building will make way for the new North Atlanta High School, which will move from its current location at 2875 Northside Drive NW in Atlanta in August 2013.
The crowd began to trickle in at about 6 a.m. and grew to about 100 people by the time the explosives inside were ignited.
The new North Atlanta High School will accommodate 2,350 students.
After the Hillside Building is razed, the team will build the 105,000-square-foot Assembly Building, which will include a 600-seat auditorium, a 150-seat black box theater, a 2,100-seat competition gymnasium and a practice gymnasium. The other building on the former IBM campus, the Lakeside Building, will be converted into classrooms, offices, a library and a cafeteria.
