The building was intended as part of the Woodruff Arts Center's proposed Atlanta Symphony Center, which had been designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and was planned for land adjacent to the structure along 14th Street. The $300 million Symphony Center could not begin construction until fundraising goals were met, but fundraising stalled at $114 million.
