Message
from the president
In an ongoing process that has involved thousands of interviews
with students, faculty, staff and administrators, guiding
principles for campus growth have been shaped and various
scenarios envisioned.
Man
with the (master) plan
University architect Danny Sniff has been closely involved with
development of the university’s new Physical Master Plan
since assuming his current position in January 1997. Sniff talked
with Columns about the development of the plan, which will guide
physical growth of the campus to accommodate eventual enrollment
of 35,000 students with associated faculty and staff. (Columns)
Looking
to the future
Proposed physical master plan aims for a green and vehicle-free
campus accommodating 35,000 students.
Latest
campus master plan is not the first
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.
Comments
on the proposed master plan
The Office of University Architects distributed and collected
comment cards during the public meeting of Nov. 12. Here's a
representative sampling of the anonymous comments received so
far.
What
others have done
This is a look at other university plans, including the University
of Virginia and Ayers/Saint/Gross projects at Emory University
and Ohio State University.
Why
can't the rest of campus look like this?
It can, say campus planners, who have re-imagined what UGA would
be like if the essential tenets of North Campus—classic
architecture and green quadrangles—could be applied throughout
the University's 600 acres. (Georgia

UGA's Master Plan
In an ongoing process that has involved thousands of interviews with students,
faculty, staff and administrators, guiding principles for campus growth have been
shaped and various scenarios envisioned.
Live and learn
UGA has embarked on a $60 million plan to modernize its residence halls and give
students something they can't get at off-campus apartments: a sense of community.
Paving the way
Proposed physical master plan aims for a green and vehicle-free campus accommodating
35,000 students.
It takes a village...
As part of a plan to dramatically expand and improve 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.
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.
