Description

Through the Arch captures UGArsquo;s colorful past; dynamic present; and promising future in a novel way: by surveying its buildings; structures; and spaces. These physical features are the universityrsquo;s most visiblemdash;and some of its most valuablemdash;resources. Yet they are largely overlooked; or treated only passingly; in histories and standard publications about UGA.Through text and photographs; this book places buildings and spaces in the context of UGArsquo;s development over more than 225 years. After opening with a brief historical overview of the university; the book profiles over 140 buildings; landmarks; and spaces; their history; appearance; and past and current usage; as well as their namesake; beginning with the oldest structures on North Campus and progressing to the newest facilities on South and East Campus and the emerging Northwest Quadrant. Many profiles are supplemented with sidebars relating traditions; lore; facts; or alumni recollections associated with buildings and spaces.More than just landmarks or static elements of infrastructure; buildings and spaces embody the universityrsquo;s values; cultural heritage; and educational purpose. These facilitiesmdash;many more than a century oldmdash;are where students learn; explore; and grow and where faculty teach; research; and create. They harbor the universityrsquo;s history and traditions; protect its treasures; and hold memories for alumni. The repository for books; documents; artifacts; and tools that contain and convey much of the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of human existence; these structures are the legacy of generations. And they are tangible symbols of UGArsquo;s commitment to improve our world through education.Guide includes
