A Welcome Center to Campus
| Categories: Featured Stories
A multi-use Welcome Center on North Avenue will serve as the “front door” to Georgia Tech and bring together students, alumni, prospective students and their families, athletes, faculty, and staff.
Designed to strengthen Georgia Tech’s connection to the community and reflect Tech’s status as a top university, the Welcome Center is the first part of a multi-phased effort to reimagine and enhance the North Avenue corridor. It will feature sleek architecture and include immersive digital experiences demonstrating the Institute’s technical prowess and innovation against the picturesque backdrop of Tech Tower and Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field.
The planned facility is part of Georgia Tech’s Comprehensive Campus Plan, which was unveiled in November 2023. Located across from Tech Tower and adjacent to the Alumni House, the center will include needed modern event and meeting spaces while providing interactive experiences that will feature the Institute’s rich heritage, current day experience, and future potential. As a central entry point for campus, the facility will welcome community members and provide vital administrative space.
Construction costs for the new center are expected at $60 million for phase one.
The Georgia Tech Foundation is seeking private philanthropy to secure the financial resources necessary to build the Welcome Center.
