 I'll
miss the old Myers
While the structure of the building should last a long time,
many of its systems are worn out or antiquated, says Jim Day.
The electrical, heating, and fire safety systems all need work.
The renovation will modernize all those essentials, and elevators
will be added, for both convenience and to make Myers '03 wheel-chair
compliant. Oh yeah, AC is coming, too. (Georgia

 Campus
housing plan: Renovations to nearly all residence halls
Although annual maintenance and renovations have been routinely
completed, the combined impact of time and unabated occupancy
has taken its toll on campus residence halls. With an average
age of 42 years, nearly all will require major renovations over
the next 10 years. Indeed, 10 of 17 halls, home to more than
36 percent of our student residents, are in critical need of
restoration. (Columns:

 From
the editor
For a dorm built in 1953, I'd call the new Reed a gem. It has
good-sized rooms and 11 new six-person Super Suites, plus private
bathrooms, plenty of light—and, yes, A/C. (Georgia

 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. |

in campus housing

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.
