Prior to the 1800’s, the original town spring was located in the vicinity of the newly renovated Innovation Hub building. The site’s historical signifigance to UGA and Athens history was prominent and became the impetus for the environmental graphics and interpretive panels. The building renovation project features approximately 11,000 SF of flexible workspace, conference rooms, and presentation areas designed to foster innovation, entrepreneurship, and industry engagement.
