Campuses
Athens Campus
The University of Georgia’s main campus in Athens covers 605 acres and includes 313 buildings. To its north, the campus adjoins historic downtown Athens, which features many boutiques, restaurants, entertainment, and service businesses. The university covers 4,308 acres in Clarke County and owns a total of 43,261 acres throughout the state.
The famous Arch is located on historic North Campus. Centuries-old buildings including the Chapel, Old College, New College, the Law School and the Main Library, are nestled among majestic oaks on the original campus quadrangle. The Tate Student Center, the UGA Bookstore, and the heralded Sanford Stadium are located in the heart of campus.
The College of Education occupies more than 300,000 square feet in Aderhold Hall on South Campus and the Ramsey Student Center for Physical Activities on East Campus, the newest and fastest-growing sections of UGA. The College also occupies the River’s Crossing building on College Station Road, just southeast of the Ramsey Center and the Georgia Center for Assessment operates in a facility off campus to the west. In addition, the College has several degree programs operating in facilities at UGA-Gwinnett and UGA-Griffin.
UGA-Gwinnett Campus
The University of Georgia Gwinnett Campus occupies 60,000 square feet of the Intellicenter, a new high-performance building with energy-efficient design and state of the art classroom technology. The new location provides the perfect environment for UGA to grow—expanding graduate degree programs long offered in Gwinnett and enhancing professional training programs provided through the Georgia Center for Continuing Education.
The new campus is located in the Intellicenter Building just off I-85 and near the intersection of Old Peachtree NW and Sever Road.
UGA-Griffin Campus
In Fall 2005, UGA began offering two undergraduate degree-completion programs at the Griffin campus, which was established in 1888 as the Georgia Experiment Station, where agricultural research was conducted. Today, UGA faculty based in Griffin study issues related to urban agriculture, as well as food science and safety.
Since then, five more bachelor’s degree programs were added to the academic offerings, plus a graduate degree program aimed at elementary school teachers and a master’s degree in agricultural leadership. A new student learning center, which opened in August 2009, provides classrooms, a computer lab, and study and meeting rooms.
