New Student Community Fulfills South Georgia College GoalsWith the beginning of its fall semester, South Georgia College (SGC) saw the fulfillment of two goals: increased residential enrollment through the addition of an attractive residential environment, and an enriched life for all SGC students, both residential and commuter.
The University System of Georgia's first two-year college now has a new 252-bed, state-of-the-art residence hall and, through the restoration and adaptive reuse of a historic former gymnasium, a multi-function student life center.
The Atlanta office of Lord, Aeck & Sargent served as architecture firm for the new student community.
Joe Greco, Lord, Aeck & Sargent principal in charge of the project, noted that in planning the location of the new residence hall, named Tiger Village, the design team built upon the strong symmetrical organization of the SGC campus plan.
The campus is defined by a central north-south axis that bisects the main lawn and concentric ring roads.
Primary buildings and lawns are located along the axis, with secondary buildings and green spaces organized around it.
At the beginning of the project, the axis began at the historic entrance to the campus, and terminated at Clower Hall, the old gymnasium that is now the Clower Student Life Center.
