The Battery Atlanta is a commercial area developed adjacent to Truist Park in Cobb County, Georgia. It is a mixed-use development that includes retail, restaurants, a hotel, living and office space, as well as the Coca-Cola Roxy Theatre.  Roman Fountains teamed with the landscape architect, HGOR to design five separate water features at The Battery. HGOR is focused on designing great places for people, places that support clear returns on investment, and provide a stewardship ethic for future generations.

The Interactive Dry-Deck Fountain at The Battery Atlanta

At the main entrance to Truist Park is the interactive dry-deck fountain with colored lights and programmed jets. It is a popular feature with both children and adults during Atlanta’s hot summers. The fountain’s ability to engage visitors with its engaging lights and jets makes it an interactive experience that draws people into the space and enhances the overall atmosphere of The Battery Atlanta.

The Green Space

Two curving features that each hold sixty (60) Bubbler nozzles equipped with RGB ‘Ring’ Lights surround an open green space that is utilized for pre-game activities as well as a viewing area for games home and away. The design of these water features not only adds visual appeal but also integrates well with the green space to create a multifunctional area where visitors can relax, socialize, and enjoy the energy of The Battery.

The Glass Water Feature and Entry Water Wall

The large screen at one end of the Battery is backed by a glass water wall with color-changing lights. Behind the glass water wall is a set of stairs that descends alongside a massive concrete water wall feature. This is a fifty-foot-wide water wall nestled between the exit staircase and the Omni Hotel.

The water in this feature drops approximately twenty-five feet, cascading over steps into an intermediate pool. From there, the water flows through a set of stainless-steel weirs into the lower pool. This waterfall is illuminated with color-changing lights which make this a spectacular feature when viewed at night. The design and execution of this water wall demonstrate our commitment to creating features that are not only visually stunning but also harmonize with their surroundings.

Installation and Maintenance

Roman Fountains partnered with Aqua Underground for the installation of all features in The Battery. The equipment for the water features is located in one direct burial equipment vault and two separate equipment rooms located in the parking garage below the plaza level.

This strategic placement helps make sure that the equipment is easily accessible for maintenance while keeping it out of sight to preserve the visual integrity of the space. Our attention to detail in all phases guarantees that these water features will continue to operate smoothly and efficiently for years to come.

The Battery Atlanta is a showcase of our ability to create water features that enhance both the aesthetic and functional aspects of a space. By working closely with HGOR and Aqua Underground, we were able to deliver features that not only meet but exceed the expectations of the developers and the public.
