This project aims to map the findings of the survey completed for the University of Georgia’s Campus Preservation Plan. The plan, expected to be completed in 2016, includes campus resources from across the state over 40 years of age. Part I of the plan included survey of all resources, completed by the FindIt program at the university’s Center for Community Design and Preservation. Survey findings along with archival research will be used to generate the preservation plan. Survey included over 850 buildings, spread across 22 counties. A master list of buildings was used to determine eligibility of survey based on age. Information gathered included GPS location, address, building type, materials, features, building characteristics, context and surroundings, as well as roof materials and window types. In addition, an as-

sessment of the building’s eligibility for the National/ Georgia register was conducted. A rating was given to each building determining whether it appeared to meet criteria, appeared not to meet criteria, or may meet criteria. Currently, 17 buildings are listed in the registers, including 7 individually listed buildings and the Old North Campus Historic District. In addition, portions of the UGA Health Sciences campus are included in the Oglethorpe Avenue Historic District.

Upon survey, many buildings were found to be no longer extant. Clarke county, the location of UGA’s main campus, had the largest amount of buildings, with 306.

PROJECT METHODOLOGY 40

Define Project •Topic: UGA Owned buildings more than 50 years of age •Boundary and Extent: State of Georgia •Scale: Statewide and Potentially county wide scales

Data Sources and Types •UGA Buildings Data: •FindIt Survey of properties •Basemap Data: •County boundaries •Rivers and lakes •Roads and highways

Data Collection •Georgia GIS clearinghouse for base map data •UGA building data will need to be geocoded by X/Y •Coordinate system will need to be defined and projected to state plane

UGA MAIN CAMPUS

UGA MAIN CAMPUS

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA PRESERVATION PLAN PHASE I: SURVEY RACHEL HADDON GIS SPRING 2015 Based on the analysis shown of buildings by year built, most buildings on the main campus were constructed after 1940, with a significant swath of campus built in the mid-century, These buildings are mainly in the science corridor just south of Sanford Stadium. The average ago of buildings on the main campus is 1945.

69% of the buildings on the main campus have brick exteriors, including both brick load-bearing walls and brick veneer.
