The Board of Regents, during a meeting in Athens last week, approved the University of Georgia's plans for a business school expansion and more renovations at the new Health Sciences Campus in Normaltown.
Regents signed off on a $35 million Terry College of Business building, funded with private donations, on land near Baxter and Lumpkin streets now occupied by fraternity houses. At least one of the displaced fraternities, Sigma Chi, intends to move off campus to North Milledge Avenue.
They also approved $13 million for a third round of renovations at the former Navy Supply Corps School. UGA plans to turn a clinic into Institute of Gerontology offices, Wright Hall for College of Public Health faculty offices and Pound Hall, a gym and chapel built in 1917, for research, classroom and office space. UGA also plans to spend $7 million from housing funds it already has on hand to turn a Navy School barracks into a 200-bed dorm and the renovate the Oglethorpe House, a dorm on South Campus.
