the East Campus residence halls
As part of a plan to dramatically expand and improve our on-campus
housing facilities over the next decade, the University of Georgia
Real Estate Foundation is overseeing the construction of four
new residence halls on East Campus, in the vicinity of the Ramsey
Student Center.

In addition to the parking deck and residence halls, the East
Campus Village will include a new dining hall immediately north
of the Ramsey Student Center. The intersection of River Road
and Carlton Street near the Ramsey Student Center has been reconfigured
to accommodate the 56,534-square-foot building.
Cabinet
adopts policy requiring first-year students to live on campus
You can’t know where you’re going if you don’t
know where you’ve been. So when it was time to draft a
physical master plan to accommodate expected enrollment growth
over the next five to 10 years, planners first took a look
at how the campus had developed to date.
The
Department of University Housing
The Department of University Housing consists of both single
and family housing. The single student housing is comprised
of 17 halls that house nearly 6,000 residents.

Preserving the future
In 1902, Chancellor Walter Hill took a train load of faculty to Madison, Wis.,
to get a look at the University of Wisconsin's new ag school. From that trip came
the University of Georgia's first master plan. To oversee the project, Hill hired
New York landscape architect Charles Leavitt, whose vision for the first half
of the 20th century was unveiled in 1905 at a ceremony in the Chapel. Preserving
that legacy will be UGA's architectural direction for the first third of the 21st
century.
