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.
