The Arch
Erected in 1858, the Arch is modeled after the great seal of Georgia. The
pillars stand for “Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation,” which is also the
Georgia state motto. The University of Georgia was chartered in 1785 and
was the first state-chartered institution of higher education in America.
However, classes did not begin on campus until 1801. A well-known
university legend states that any undergraduate that walks under the Arch
will not graduate.
Holmes-Hunter Academic Building
STOP
Originally, this building was two separate buildings: the Ivy
building, which contained classrooms, and the Library. At
the turn of the century, the buildings were joined. Today, the
building houses offices for Student Affairs, Student Financial Aid, the
Registrar, Institutional Diversity, and others. In January 2001, the building
was renamed the Holmes-Hunter Academic Building in honor of Hamilton
Holmes and Charlayne Hunter-Gault, the first African-American students to
enroll at the University of Georgia.
1
Demosthenian Hall /
Phi Kappa Hall
The homes of two of UGA’s
literary and debate societies,
these buildings remain very
much the same as they
did during the antebellum
period. During the Civil War,
Union troops occupied Phi
Kappa Hall.
Chapel
Dedicated in 1832, the Chapel served as the site where students and
faculty attended church services three times each week. Today, assemblies,
concerts and lectures are held here. A large framed oil painting of “The
Interior of Saint Peter’s in Rome” is housed inside. A bell tower originally
crowned the roof, but the bell was later placed at the top of a wooden
tower at the back of the Chapel. Now the bell is rung only to mark athletic
victories or other special occasions.
Terrell Hall
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions is located on the second and
third floors of Terrell Hall. Information sessions for prospective first-year
students are conducted Monday through Friday at 10:30 a.m. and
2:00 p.m. Information sessions for prospective transfer students are held
every Friday at 1:00 p.m. The Department of Speech Communication, which
offers undergraduate and graduate level degrees, is located on the first floor.
4
New College
STOP
First built in 1822 and rebuilt in 1830 after being destroyed by
fire, New College is in the midst of a full interior renovation.
Over the years, the building has been home to various university
departments and offices including the bookstore, pharmacy school, and most
recently the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. Upon completion of the
current renovation in 2010, offices under the Vice President for Instruction
and the Provost will move into New College.
2
Administration Building
The Administration Building currently houses the offices of the university
president and senior vice presidents. Originally, the building was constructed
as a library for students but quickly became too small to house all library
materials. In 1948, the Georgia Museum of Art opened in the basement. In
1982, the General Assembly designated the Georgia Museum of Art as the
state’s official art museum. The museum was eventually moved to its current
location on East Campus.
Old College
The oldest building on campus, built in 1806, Old College is modeled after
Connecticut Hall at Yale (Abraham Baldwin, UGA’s first President, graduated
from Yale). Crawford W. Long, a pioneer in the use of anesthesia, and
Alexander Stephens, VP of the Confederacy, lived here when they were
students at UGA. A commemorative plaque is located on the building’s north
wall. The Franklin College dean’s office is housed here.
Moore College/Herty Field
Moore College houses the Honors Program and includes advising offices,
computer labs and classrooms for Honors students. About 10 percent of
each incoming freshman class is admitted to the Honors program. Honors
students enjoy special opportunities for research, study abroad programs,
and scholarships. Herty Field was UGA’s first athletic field and was the site of
UGA’s first intercollegiate football game in 1892 when UGA defeated Mercer
50-0. The field is in the university’s wireless internet cloud and is a popular
place for students to study and relax.
Candler Hall
This building is home to the School of Public and International Affairs
(SPIA), where students can earn bachelors degrees in political science and
international affairs. SPIA was created in 2001 from the department of
political science. Now a distinct unit within UGA, the school also offers a
nationally acclaimed masters degree in public administration.
5
Gilbert Hall
Gilbert Hall was the previous location of the university’s health center. The
building currently houses the Department of Romance Languages. The
department, one of the largest and most productive at the university, offers
undergraduate and graduate programs in French, Italian, Portuguese, and
Spanish.
Law Library/Law School
The UGA School of Law is
located in Hirsch Hall with the
Law Library adjacent to the
school. Currently, Georgia Law
ranks among the top public
law schools in the country
according to annual rankings
by U.S. News & World Report.
STOP
3
Lustrat House
Built in 1847, the Lustrat House was originally located on the site of the
Administration Building and was moved to its present location in 1903.
Named for professor Joseph Lustrat, the building has served as a faculty
house, an office for the university’s president, and a house museum. Today, it
houses the Office of Legal Affairs.
Waddel Hall
Built in 1821, Waddell Hall was once known as Philosophical Hall. The
second oldest building on campus, it has served as a chapel, gymnasium,
and meeting facility. It currently houses the Office of Special Events.
Peabody Hall
Home to the Departments of Religion and Philosophy, Peabody Hall is named
for George Peabody, a New England merchant who directed in his will that
his estate be distributed to promote public education in the South. The
religion department offers a diverse curriculum for both undergraduate and
graduate students. The philosophy department also provides undergraduate
and graduate level degrees.
6
Ilah Dunlap Little Library (Main Library)
Nearly 4 million volumes are contained in the four primary on-campus
libraries. An elaborate computer system, GALILEO, helps students locate
materials in libraries throughout the state’s university system. The Main
Library’s Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library contains a copy of the
original Confederate Constitution and papers of Margaret Mitchell, author
of Gone With the Wind, along with other rare and interesting materials.
Dean Rusk Hall
STOP
Named for the U.S. Secretary of State in the Kennedy and
Johnson administrations who served on the UGA law faculty
for 20 years, Rusk Hall includes multi-purpose classrooms, an
electronic courtroom, space for the Institute of Continuing Judicial
Education, faculty offices for the Law School, and the Dean Rusk Center for
International and Comparative Law.
4
Caldwell Hall (behind Law Library)
Caldwell Hall houses classrooms and offices for the Terry College of
Business and the College of Environment and Design, which was formed
in 2001 as the first new college at UGA since 1969. The College of
Environment and Design houses the largest landscape architecture program
in the nation and offers undergraduate and graduate level degrees.
Brooks Hall
Brooks Hall is the home to the Terry College of Business, which consistently
ranks among the top business schools in the country. The college offers
undergraduate and graduate level degrees in multiple disciplines. The
University of Georgia was the first southern university — and one of the first
in the nation — to establish a school of business.
Sanford Hall
Funded through private gifts and dedicated in 1997 as a primary classroom
facility for Terry College students, Sanford Hall has a student lounge,
academic advising center and 13 seminar rooms and classrooms with
seating capacity ranging from 10 to 330. The building accommodates
wireless computer access, and every desktop in Sanford Hall — 900 seats in
all — is equipped with a network connection for laptops.
7
Park Hall
STOP

film, and creative writing. The graduate program offers two masters degrees
and a Ph.D. degree.
5
LeConte Hall
The Department of History is located in LeConte Hall and offers bachelors,
masters, and Ph.D. degrees. The department has a strong tradition of
expertise in subjects ranging from early American to modern African
American history and popular culture to foreign policy.
Military Science Building
The Military Science Building houses the university’s Army ROTC program.
The program’s curriculum is an elective curriculum and is designed to train
and develop future leaders. Courses cover management, ethics, tactics, law,
military history, and Army society.
Psychology-Journalism Complex
The Psychology-Journalism (PJ) complex houses the Grady College of
Journalism and Mass Communication, the Department of Psychology,
auditoriums, and general classroom space. The College of Journalism and
Mass Communication is home to one of the top journalism programs in the
nation and offers undergraduate and graduate level degrees. It is also home
to the Peabody Awards, the world’s oldest and most prestigious honor in
electronic media. In addition to providing opportunities for undergraduate
and graduate degrees, the psychology department also contains a fully
staffed psychology clinic with services available to students and the public.
The department’s graduate program is nationally recognized and APA
accredited, and students graduating from the program have gone on to
successful careers in a variety of academic, research, and applied settings.
8
Zell B. Miller Learning Center
STOP
The $42 million Miller Learning Center, opened in 2003, houses
classrooms and library space in the heart of campus and is the
most popular location on campus for studying individually or in
groups. The building is entirely dedicated to students and houses no

Office, the university’s student-run radio station, an information desk,
offices for a number of student organizations, and meeting rooms.
A $58 million expansion and renovation to the Tate Center opened in June
2009. The expansion features a new location for Print and Copy Services
as well as meeting rooms, a food court, an information desk, and a nearly
12,000-square foot state-of-the-art multi-purpose space.
Memorial Hall
Built in 1929 to honor the 47 UGA men who died in WWI, Memorial Hall
contains offices for the African American Cultural Center, Multicultural
Services, and International Student Life. In May 2009, the Franklin College of
Arts and Sciences moved its advising and graduation certification offices to
Memorial Hall from New College.
Sanford Stadium
Home of the Georgia Bulldogs, the stadium seats 92,746 and is the sixth
largest on-campus stadium in the country. It was the site of the medal
rounds for 1996 Olympic Soccer Games. The famous hedges were removed
in 1995 to enlarge the playing field for soccer, and were replaced by
descendants of the original hedges.
