The $58 million project Tate Student Center Expansion and Renovation project drastically increases space for student programs and activities in the heart of UGA campus.

The Tate Student Center Expansion has been constructed atop a two story parking deck that accomodates 500 vehicles. Long term plans call for the conversion of an existing ground-level parking lot adjacent to Tate into a green space to be bordered on one side by Tanyard Creek and the other by a newly constructed promenade for UGA football's infamous pre-game Dawg Walk.

The new Tate Student Center building houses an 11, 793-square foot multi-purpose space on the fifth level. With a capacity of more than 1,600 people, this state-of-the-art room is a suitable venue for large-scale student activities including concerts, lectures, meetings, and much more.

The fourth level features an elegant dining room, well-appointed conference and meeting rooms for student organizations, and comfortable, intimate lounge seating areas. This level features a mezzanine looking over the third-floor below.

The third level connects to the main floor of the exisiting Tate Student Center. This spacious, open area includes a food court, retail space, Print & Copy Services, a large lounge area, gaming area, and a small performance amphitheater. The main floor opens out onto a tree-lined Alumni Plaza facing Lumpkin Street.

Renovations to the exisitng building include studios for WUOG 90.5 FM (the student-run radio station), dance rehearsal rooms for student organizations, and an expanded UGACard office. Georgia Hall is now a two-story office suite for student support services and programs. The suite contains the Center for Leadership & Service, the Student Activities and Organizations office, and the Center for Student Organizations.

Throughout the existing building, decorative enhancements like new furnishings, lighting, and carpet, as well as a new facade on the Tate Theater, will refresh and renew the building that generations of students have loved for the past quarter century.
