The main campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology occupies part of Midtown Atlanta, primarily bordered by 10th Street to the north, North Avenue to the south, and, with the exception of Tech Square, the Downtown Connector to the East, placing it well in sight of the Atlanta skyline. In 1996, the campus was the site of the athletes' village and a venue for a number of athletic events for the 1996 Summer Olympics. The construction of the Olympic Village, along with subsequent gentrification of the surrounding areas, significantly changed the campus.^[1]

The Georgia Tech campus is located in Midtown, an area north of downtown Atlanta. Although a number of skyscrapers (most visibly AT&T Midtown Center, One Coca-Cola Plaza, and Bank of America Plaza) are visible from all points on campus, the campus itself has few buildings over four stories and has a great deal of greenery. This gives it a distinctly suburban atmosphere quite different from other Atlanta campuses such as that of Georgia State University.^[2][3]

In addition to the main campus, Georgia Tech also operates satellite campuses in Savannah, Georgia (Georgia Tech Savannah); Metz, France (Georgia Tech Lorraine); Athlone, Ireland; Shenzhen, China; and Singapore.^[4]

The campus is organized into four main parts: West Campus, East Campus, Central Campus, and Technology Square. West Campus and East Campus are both occupied primarily by student living complexes, while Central Campus is reserved primarily for teaching and research buildings.^[2]

Formerly the location of the Hemphill Avenue neighborhood, Georgia Tech began to expand into this area in 1965. West Campus is occupied primarily by apartments and coed undergraduate dormitories. Apartments include Crecine, Center Street, Zbar, Maulding, Nelson-Shell, and Eighth Street Apartments (all of which were built as part of the 1996 Olympic Village), while dorms include Freeman, Montag, Fitten, Folk, Caldwell, Armstrong, Hefner, Fulmer, and Woodruff Suites.^[2][5] The Campus Recreation Center (formerly the Student Athletic Complex); a volleyball court; a large, low natural green area known as the Burger Bowl; and a flat artificial green area known as the Stamps Field (formerly SAC Field) are all located on the western side of the campus.

West Campus was formerly home to Under the Couch, which relocated to the Student Center in the fall of 2010.^[6] Also within walking distance of West Campus are several late-night eateries, primarily on Northside Drive. Engineer's Bookstore, an economical alternative to Georgia Tech's official bookstore, also operated near West Campus until its closure in 2016.^[7][8][9] West campus was home to a convenience store, West Side Market, which closed in 2017.^[10] Due to limited space, all auto travel proceeds via a network of one-way streets which connects West Campus to Hemphill Avenue and Ferst Drive, the main road of the campus. Woodruff Dining Hall, or "Woody's", was the West Campus Dining Hall before its closure in 2017.^[11][10] It connected the Woodruff North and Woodruff South undergraduate dorms. In 2017, West Village, a multipurpose facility featuring dining options, meeting space, School of Music classrooms, and offices to West Campus, opened.^[10]

East Campus houses all of the fraternities and sororities as well as most of the undergraduate freshman dormitories. East Campus abuts the Downtown Connector, granting residences quick access to Midtown and its businesses (for example, The Varsity) via several bridges over the highway, as well as a tunnel beneath it. Georgia Tech football's home, Bobby Dodd Stadium is located on East Campus, as well as Georgia Tech basketball's home, McCamish Pavilion (formerly Alexander Memorial Coliseum).^[2]

Brittain Dining Hall is the main dining hall for East Campus. It is modeled after a medieval church, complete with carved columns and stained glass windows showing symbolic figures.^[11] The main road leading from East Campus to Central Campus is a steep ascending incline commonly known as "Freshman Hill" (in reference to the large number of freshman dorms near its foot). On March 8, 2007, the former Georgia State University Village apartments were transferred to Georgia Tech. Renamed North Avenue Apartments by the institute, they began housing students in the fall semester of 2007.^[12]

Central Campus is home to the majority of the academic, research, and administrative buildings. The Central Campus includes, among others: the Howey Physics Building; the Boggs Chemistry Building; the College of Computing Building; the Klaus Advanced Computing Building; the College of Architecture Building; the D. M. Smith Building, which houses the School of Public Policy; and the Ford Environmental Science & Technology Building.^[2] In 2005, the School of Modern Languages returned to the Swann Building, a 100-year-old former dormitory that now houses some of the most technology-equipped classrooms on campus.^[13][14] Intermingled with these are a variety of research facilities, such as the Centennial Research Building, the Microelectronics Research Center, the Neely Nuclear Research Center (decommissioned 1999), the Nanotechnology Research Center, and the Petit Biotechnology Building.

Tech's administrative buildings, such as Tech Tower, and the Bursar's Office, are also located on the Central Campus, in the Georgia Tech Historic District.^[15][16] The campus library, the Student Center, and the Student Services Building ("Flag Building") are also located on Central Campus. The Student Center provides a variety of recreational and social functions for students including: a computer lab, a game room ("Tech Rec"),^[17] the Student Post Office, a music venue, a movie theater, the Food Court, plus meeting rooms for various clubs and organizations. Adjacent to the eastern entrance of the Student Center is the Kessler Campanile (which is referred to by students as "The Shaft").^[18] The former Hightower Textile Engineering building was demolished in 2002 to create Yellow Jacket Park. More greenspace now occupies the area around the Kessler Campanile for a more aesthetically pleasing look, in accordance with the official Campus Master Plan.^[19] In August 2011, the G. Wayne Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons opened next to the library and occupies part of the Yellow Jacket Park area.^[20]

The "Robert Ferst Center for the Arts", located next to the student center, is Georgia Tech's theater and arts center, and adjoins DramaTech, the student run theater. It contains a 1,155-seat auditorium that features a proscenium stage, orchestra pit, and theatrical lighting and sound systems.^[21]

Technology Square, also known as "Tech Square", is located across the Downtown Connector and embedded in the city east of East Campus.^[22] Opened in August 2003 at a cost of $179 million, the district was built over run-down neighborhoods and has sparked a revitalization of the entire Midtown area.^[23][24][25] Connected by the recently renovated Fifth Street Bridge, it is a pedestrian-friendly area comprising Georgia Tech facilities and retail locations.^[23][26] One complex contains the College of Business Building, holding classrooms and office space for the Scheller College of Business, as well as the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center and the Georgia Tech Global Learning Center.^[27] Another part of Tech Square, the privately owned Centergy One complex, contains the Technology Square Research Building (TSRB), holding faculty and graduate student offices for the College of Computing and the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, as well as the GVU Center, a multidisciplinary technology research center.^[23] The Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) is a science and business incubator, run by the Georgia Institute of Technology, and is also headquartered in Technology Square's Centergy One complex.

Other Georgia Tech-affiliated buildings in the area host the Center for Quality Growth and Regional Development, the Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation Institute, the Advanced Technology Development Center, VentureLab, and the Georgia Electronic Design Center. Technology Square also hosts a variety of restaurants and businesses, including the headquarters of notable consulting companies like Accenture and also including the official Institute bookstore, a Barnes & Noble bookstore, and a Georgia Tech-themed Waffle House.^[24][28]

Opened in Fall 2011, the G. Wayne Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons (Clough Commons, or CULC) is a 220,000 square foot academic building located on Central Campus, adjacent to Tech Green.

Located on Central Campus as part of Georgia Tech's Historic District, the John Saylor Coon Building was constructed in 1912 and is one of the oldest buildings on campus. Originally called the New Shop Building, the building served as a home for shops and the mechanical engineering department, and continued to be used by the mechanical engineering department until 2001, when it became the home for the School of Psychology.^[30] The building gained its current name in 1922, following the retirement of noted professor John Saylor Coon. Between October 2001 and September 2003 the building underwent an extensive $9.1 million renovation that added 11,000 square feet to the facilities. The project received praise for being completed both under budget and on time.^[31]

Located on McMillan Street on West Campus, the J. Allen Couch Building serves as the home for the School of Music, a division of the College of Design. Named after Tech alum and prominent Atlanta citizen J. Allen Couch, the building was constructed in 1935 at a cost of $347,000.^[32] The building also houses several music practice rooms and a recording studio, and was the former home for Under the Couch before it relocated to the Student Center in 2010.^[33][6]

Located on Central Campus, the Ford Environmental Science and Technology Building opened in 2002 and is named after its principal donor, the Ford Motor Company.

It is also next to the GT Connector, a newly built study space between Glenn and Towers that also includes a small gym. It was last renovated in 2015 and as of 2019 has a bed count of 351.^[87]

William H. Glenn graduated from Georgia Tech in 1891 with a degree in mechanical engineering. Glenn is most famous at Georgia Tech for assisting in the creation of the Georgia Tech Alumni Association, of which he was president in 1921. After his graduation, Glenn became a successful businessman working for the Georgia Railway & Electric Company and the Southeastern Compress & Warehouse Company.^[88]

Glenn Hall originally cost $607,000 to construct and was designed by Bush-Brown, Gailey, & Heffernan in 1947.^[89] Glenn is the largest capacity dormitory in Freshman Experience Program. Glenn Hall has four floors of residents and is flanked by Bobby Dodd Stadium and Towers Hall.

Glenn Hall was the site of a dry ice bombing that resulted in the Atlanta Bomb Squad responding in October 2005.^[90] A resident had made several dry ice bombs and left them outside of the hall. The proceeding morning, a facilities employee detonated the bombs by accident causing slight hearing damage. The student was initially charged with felony possession of a destructive device and reckless conduct.^[91]

One of the largest rivalries in Georgia Tech Housing is between Glenn and its archrival Towers Hall.^[92] Vandalism, pranks, and competition in various events are common amongst the two dormitories although the destructive facet of this rivalry is highly discouraged.

Annually since 2006, there has been a competition between Glenn and Towers called "The Battle for the Quad" in which the two battle for ownership of the quad separating the two buildings.^[92] The competition is set up as a week-long collection of various sporting events (such as soccer, basketball, pool, bowling, dodgeball, paintball, etc.), the championship going to whichever dorm claims the most victories. There are usually eight events, with a tie breaking tug-of-war competition if needed. Towers won the first Battle for the Quad, with a repeat victory the next year. However, in the 08–09 school year, Glenn answered with their first victory, 5–3.^{[citation needed]} Towers then had a winning streak for a few years, and Glenn broke that streak with a win in the 11–12 school year. The competition did not take place in 2013 and 2014 as Glenn and Towers were being renovated, but was restarted in the 2015–16 school year, now taking place over one day and including other, non sporting events. Glenn is the current champion.

The Glenn Hall Goatman was first conceived for Glenn Hall intramurals in the Fall of 2002. The term Goatman was unofficially applied to any male who lived or had lived in Glenn Hall. The term was first officially applied to Glenn residents in Fall of 2003 when several Glenn Housing fliers made references to the Goatman. The most famous flier was made before the annual UGA game and it depicted a half-man half-goat sending lightning towards Athens, Georgia. In Fall of 2006 the Goatman adorned Glenn intramural jerseys for the first time.^{[citation needed]} Despite initial discouragement, the Goatman remains the only official mascot for any hall in the Freshman Experience.

Smith Residence Hall is a residence hall dedicated to John M. Smith, member of the first graduating class in Tech history. Smith Hall was designed under President Van Leer's tenure by the architects Bush-Brown, Gailey and Heffernan and built for $614,000.^[109]

Smith Hall was originally designed as the athlete dormitory with a built-in cafeteria and hot tub. The cafeteria on the third floor has since been converted into a lounge but still retains the cafeteria serving line and salad bar. The room was the 6-man flex space in the Fall 2004-Spring 2005 and Fall 2005-Spring 2006 school years.^[110] Other dormitories experienced the flex spaces but not to the extent of Smith which could increase its capacity by 14 additional residents. The hot tub was located in the modern day Hall Director office and pipes from the tub remained in Smith up until Summer of 2003 during renovation.

Smith is the largest Freshman Experience dorm by area with 5 total floors, allocating 4 for residents. 0 floor houses East Campus custodial services. The broad side faces North Ave and the building is flanked by Brown Hall and Williams Street. Smith was the Southeasternmost point of campus until Georgia Tech's acquisition of the North Avenue Apartment Complex (formerly the Georgia State Village), and is closest to the last defenses of Atlanta during the Civil War.

The Southeast corner of Smith leads to a large foyer that opens into a walled-in green space. This green space was the extreme Southeastern point of Georgia Tech from 1996 to 2007. Before 1996, Techwood Dorm was the Southeastern tip of Georgia Tech and in 2007 the acquisition of the Georgia State Village (now known as North Avenue Apartments) has once again displaced Smith as the closest Tech building to the Varsity. Smith is approximately 500 feet from the Atlanta landmark.

The hall was last renovated in 1993 and as of 2019 has a bed count of 295.^[111]

Towers Residence Hall is a co-ed residence hall in the Georgia Tech Freshman Experience located on the east side of campus. Towers is dedicated to Donigan Dean Towers.

Towers Residence Hall originally cost $481,000 to construct and was designed by architects Bush-Brown, Gailey, & Heffernan. It was built in 1947 by contractor J. A. Jones.^[112]

Towers was home to Dean James E. Dull during the early 1960s. While he resided in the staff apartment, he spotted a Ford Model A outside of Towers that would eventually become the Ramblin' Wreck.^[113]

Since 1990, Towers has hosted an annual haunted house in its attic. Georgia Tech students are invited every Halloween to enjoy the pranks and props in the attic created by East Campus residents.^[114]

In Fall 2006, Towers hall housed the infamous "triples", which was a project that put three residents into a two-man room. Certain pieces of furniture were not provided to the third resident as to accommodate a third bed. When spaces became available in other parts of campus, the third resident was moved elsewhere.^{[63][64][65][66]}

Towers is an archrival to neighbor dorm Glenn Hall. Glenn and Towers compete in an annual "Battle for the Quad" in which the winner determines the name of the greenspace located between the two structures.^[92] Towers had held the rights to the quad since Spring 2007 until Spring 2009, when Glenn finally won. Towers won in Spring 2010 and defended their title in Spring 2011. Following the pattern of two-year wins for Towers and one for Glenn, the rites were given back to Glenn in Spring 2012. Breaking this pattern, Glenn defended their title in 2016 when the Battle of the Quad returned after a short hiatus while the two buildings were being renovated.

Towers Hall also manages to field competitive teams outside of the interhall rivalry. Towers is always a strong competitor in the Mini 500 and the only Freshman Experience Residence Hall to win the men's division since FE's first year of 1992.^[115]

While the idea of a Towers mascot had been considered multiple years with such incarnations as a Spartan and a Chubacabra (an animal that preys on goats, the mascot of rival Glenn Hall). Residents of Towers have most recently been referred to as the Knights of Towers. Knights were chosen based on the qualities of strength, bravery, physical and mental fortitude, and chivalry.

In May 2013, Towers was taken offline as part of a two-year $41.5M renovation project to both Towers and Glenn Hall. The renovations will upgrade electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and fire protection systems of both buildings. There will also be new laundry rooms, bathrooms and study rooms amongst other amenities on each floor. For the first time in the buildings' history, elevators will be installed. A connecting building will also be constructed between Towers and Glenn, fulfilling the original 1940 master plan, which will include other student services. Renovations were completed for Towers before the 2014–2015 school year. Glenn was taken offline in May 2014 for its phase of the renovation and reopened in July 2015^{[116][117][118]}

The bowl is often used for intramural sports and is currently the home venue for the Georgia Tech Rugby team.

The Hill refers to the area comprising the Historic District and part of East Campus. Many of the initial buildings, such as Tech Tower, were built on an actual hill, and the name continues to refer to both the area and the Georgia Tech administration as a whole.^[186] Due to the location of East Campus residence halls at the base of the hill, the term Freshman Hill has been applied to the steep incline of Bobby Dodd Way, a road that many freshman must walk to get to academic buildings on the other side of the hill. For instance, in 2018 The Technique ran an April Fools' Day article discussing the creation of a chair lift up Freshman Hill.^[187]

Tech Green is a 3.2 acre green space located on Central Campus, bordered by Clough Commons to the east and Tech Walkway to the south.
