Pi Mile History
A tradition since 1973, the Pi Mile was originally named the Dean George C. Griffin Pi Mile to honor the longtime Georgia Tech track and cross-country coach. Founded by alumnus L. McTier "Mac" Anderson, the race expanded from its original 3 miles to the current 5K (3.14 miles) distance after 1975. Part of the race is run along the Tyler Brown Pi Mile Trail, a course dedicated to a former Student Government Association President killed in action in 2004.

Furthermore, the building inspires academic programs, student project teams, and long-term campus master planning, truly planting the seeds for a more sustainable future at Tech.
