| Step through The Arch with today's students and be reminded of the beauty and vitality of the University. |
    Modeled after Yale, which produced UGA's first two presidents, North Campus is our link to the past and our hope for what the University will look like in the future. Beginning at The Arch and ending at the Main Library (see larger photo here), its shaded walkways offer a welcome respite from the heat, and the tinkling of the Hubert B. Owens Memorial Fountain adjacent to Lustrat House is a treat for the senses. |

  The Chapel (below center: see larger photo here) has been a center of campus activity since 1832, the same year its neighbor, New College (below left) was rebuilt, minus its original fourth floor. Graduation ceremonies were held in The Chapel for more than a century, and students still cling to the tradition of ringing the bell after football victories. Built in 1904, Terrell Hall has been home to Chemistry, Pharmacy, Public Information, the Institute of Government, and Admissions. When Physics left Park Hall (near left), English profs, who had been scattered "from Rabun Gap to Tybee Light," moved in. |

The State Botanical Garden of Georgia (above left), located south of the main campus, is a great place to study nature--or contemplate it. East Campus extended the University's footprint in a different direction, and gave the UGA community a different feeling about this two-centuries-old institution of higher learning. Suddenly, the Atlanta Symphony was not only playing here, but proclaiming Hodgson Hall its performance hall of choice. Paintings not seen for years found wall space at the new Georgia Museum of Art (bottom: see larger photo here), which will become even more spacious in the future. The Ramsey Student Center for Physical Activities (lower left) made such an immediate impact on the health and well-being of students and faculty that Sports Illustrated named it the best on-campus fitness facility in the U.S. And for fun in the great outdoors, nothing beats the intramural fields. |
