Holmes-Hunter Academic Building to undergo major renovation
“The University of Georgia will soon begin a comprehensive renovation of one of its most historic buildings on North Campus, the Holmes-Hunter Academic Building. The $30 million project was approved today by the University System of Georgia Board of Regents and is supported by a $15 million commitment from the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation.
The planned renovation of the Holmes-Hunter Building—named for Hamilton Holmes and Charlayne Hunter-Gault, the first African American students to enroll at UGA—will include an array of improvements that will significantly enhance functionality while also restoring historic features of the building and honoring Holmes and Hunter-Gault.
“We are so grateful for the continued partnership of the Woodruff Foundation and support of the Board of Regents for this important restoration,” said UGA President Jere W. Morehead. “This building, located beside our iconic Arch, honors two individuals who changed our institution for the better and left monumental legacies at UGA. I am very excited about today’s announcement to advance this significant project. This is a great day for UGA.”
