GSU Revamping Downtown Campus
Georgia State University will soon begin a transformational project. Most of the $107 million needed for the project will come from an $80 million gift from the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation.
Development of the Hurt Park area includes removal of Georgia State’s Sparks Hall to integrate the existing campus Greenway into a district that crosses Gilmer Street and connects to Hurt Park. The Greenway will include an elevated plaza, enhanced walkways and a vegetated buffer along Courtland Street.
On the north end of Hurt Park, the 100 Edgewood building will get a dining area and gathering space. Renovations to the first four floors of the building will provide up-to-date classroom space and interconnecting stairways.
The Arts and Humanities Building, overlooking the newly activated outdoor hub, will get a new, more contemporary façade.
At Woodruff Park, new sidewalks, a realigned streetcar platform, façade improvements to the 25 Park Place building and plaza, and other pedestrian-oriented features will provide a connection to Broad Street and the Aderhold Learning Center.
