Campus Architecture Database: Georgia Hall

Valdosta State University, Valdosta, Ga.

Building Type: Residential

Construction Type: New

Cost: $18.5-million

Square Footage: 160,000

Architect: Niles Bolton Associates Inc.

Contractor: Juneau Construction Company

Opened: 2009

The old Georgia Hall was demolished and replaced with a six-story building with 493 beds in 197 semi-suite units (with no more than two students sharing a bath). The building features 16 student-living clusters with a central resident-adviser unit overseeing each cluster. The building also contains a multipurpose room with a kitchen, a classroom, laundry rooms, a game room, community and office space, and a security desk. The building was designed to fit into the existing topography of the campus with minimal impact on vegetation and the environment.
