Hidden Georgia Tech: Architectural Details III

Hidden Georgia Tech: Architectural Details III

By Victor Rogers February 19, 2018

Across the Georgia Tech campus, hidden spaces and forgotten places await rediscovery. Some are relics of an earlier time, difficult to find and explore. Others are very much in view, but often overlooked. Hidden Georgia Tech is a photo-essay series highlighting places on campus that are hidden in plain sight.

Architectural Details, Part III

With 400 acres and nearly 160 buildings, Georgia Tech’s main campus is filled with a range of architectural styles, from Collegiate Gothic when the university opened to recent additions in contemporary design.

Part three of this three-part essay on architectural details will explore buildings in and near the BioTech Quad and a few buildings along the perimeter of campus.
