BlueStar Studios is currently in Phase I of construction. Located in historic Fort Gillem, a former military base, in the city of Forest Park, Georgia, Phase I of this studio project consists of repurposing existing structure and creating two 20,000 square foot stages. There will be at least two more phases to this project. The design team and project architect, Allen Collins, have taken care to preserve the architectural legacy of the historic buildings and repurpose them to create new life for this facility.
The facility is a 57,176 SF movie studio comprised of two 20,530 SF stages adjoined by a 2-story office building of 16,096 SF total. The stage portion is a pre-engineered metal building with an exterior skin of pre-finished metal panels and acoustically treated exterior walls and roof. The 2-story office is a steel post and beam frame system for the elevated floor with metal deck and concrete. Stay tuned to see further developments as construction of this facility continues.
