History
Initially intended as a night school, Georgia State University was established in 1913 as the
For its first four decades, the school was treated as an offsite department of its parent institution, Georgia Tech, until 1947, and UGA after 1947. Accordingly, its chief executive was called a director.[38] However, in 1955, the Board of Regents made it an autonomous four-year college under the name Georgia State College of Business Administration.[39] Walter Sparks, who had served as director since 1927, became the newly autonomous institution's first president. In 1961, other programs at the school had grown large enough that the name was shortened to Georgia State College.[38] It became Georgia State University in 1969.[40]
In 1995, the
The first
The Peachtree Road Race was founded in 1970 by Georgia State cross-country coach and dean of men Tim Singleton, heading it in its first six years before turning it over to the Atlanta Track Club.[46]
Expansion periods
1913–1975
Over its 100-plus-year history, Georgia State's growth has required the acquisition and construction of more space to suit its needs. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, numerous buildings were constructed as part of a major urban renewal project, such as the Pullen Library in 1966, Classroom South in 1968, the expansion of the Pullen Library in 1968, the Arts and Humanities Building in 1970, the 10-story General Classroom Building in 1971 (now called Langdale Hall), the Sports Arena in 1973, and the 12-story Urban Life Building in 1974.[47] In addition, a raised platform and walkway system was constructed to connect these buildings over Decatur Street and various parking structures.[48]
1980–1989
In the 1980s, another round of expansion took place with the acquisition of the former
1990–2004
Georgia State continued this growth into the 1990s, with the expansion of
2005–2015
After the release of the 2006 master plan update, a host of new building activities occurred on campus. A $20 million refurbishment to the Pullen Library complex was completed during the 2006–07 school year.
2016–present
The newest incarnation of the university's strategic plan gives an outline of the university's growth from 2011 until 2016 and a brief overview that will be amended for up to 2021.[66] In 2016, an extension to the Petit Science Center was completed. Plans exist for the building of graduate student housing behind the center.[66]
On May 31, 2012, the athletics department released a new facilities master plan.[67] The plan includes upgrades and renovations to the GSU Sports Arena[68] including new outdoor sand volleyball courts (which have since been completed)[69] as well as plans to build new baseball, softball, and soccer stadiums.[70][71][72] These would replace the current stadiums in Panthersville. In May 2014, the university announced its intentions to pursue the 77-acre (312,000 m2) Turner Field site once the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball club moves into Truist Park in 2017. The university intends to retrofit Turner Field into a 30,000-seat open-air football stadium and build a new baseball field on the site of the former Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium, incorporating the wall where Hank Aaron hit his record-breaking 715th home run. Additional retail and student housing development is also planned for the parking areas surrounding Turner Field.[73]
On December 21, 2015, the Atlanta Fulton County Recreation Authority announced that Georgia State's bid to redevelop Turner Field had been accepted.
In June 2021,
Consolidation with Georgia Perimeter College
On January 5, 2015, news broke that Georgia State and
Organization
The President of Georgia State University (currently Dr. M. Brian Blake)[84] is the head administrator and is appointed and overseen by the Georgia Board of Regents.
The university is composed of 11 colleges (although those divisions use "college", "school", or "institute", those titles do not indicate any distinction between them):
Schools and colleges
- Andrew Young School of Policy Studies
- Byrdine F. Lewis College of Nursing and Health Professions
- College of the Arts
- College of Arts & Sciences
- College of Education and Human Development
- J. Mack Robinson College of Business
- College of Law
- School of Public Health
- Institute for Biomedical Sciences
- Honors College
- Perimeter College†
† Unlike the other colleges that make up the university, students accepted to Perimeter College only have access to the five suburban campuses associated with that college and not the main campus. A Perimeter College student must apply for acceptance to the main downtown campus for access to bachelor's degrees.[85]
Campus
From Georgia State's days as a single-building night school into the university it is today, Georgia State has built itself into the heart of urban Downtown Atlanta. Whereas the school's nickname—dating from the early 1960s—of "the Concrete Campus" was once a source of mild embarrassment,[86] the name has been embraced by the university community.[87] The university embraced the slogan, "a part of the city, not apart from the city" as its growth into Downtown Atlanta increased.[88] This has led to the widening of sidewalks around the campus, and a focus on Decatur Street as becoming the "Main Street" of the campus.[89]
25 Park Place
25 Park Place is a mixed-use classroom and office building that houses several departments at Georgia State University. The building was previously the Trust Company of Georgia Building, and before Georgia State University acquiring the building was the SunTrust Bank Building. The Georgia State University Foundation acquired the building in 2006 for $52 million.[90]
Sparks Hall
Sparks Hall was the first building designed and built specifically for the school. It was designed by the Atlanta architectural firm of Cooper, Barrett, Skinner, Woodbury, and Cooper. Construction took place between 1952 and 1955 and cost about $2 million. The first classes were held in the building on April 21, 1955. On June 8, 1960, the building was named for George McIntosh Sparks, former president of the college.[91] Currently, the building houses Undergraduate Admissions and the Financial Management Center. It also primarily houses classrooms and computer laboratory space.
Housing
After the
University Lofts
In August 2002,[55] the 450-bed University Lofts opened at the corner of Edgewood Avenue and Courtland Street on the northeast side of campus as housing for undergraduate students and student-athletes, as well as students with families and graduate students.[94] In 2008, the Lofts were converted into multiperson dormitories as well as apartment-style dorms, raising the bed counts to its current number of 550 residents in 231 apartments.[95]
University Commons
On August 10, 2007, Georgia State opened the University Commons, a US$165 million complex housing 1,992 students, occupying a city block bounded by Ellis Street,
Patton Hall
In the fall of 2009, Georgia State opened a 325-bed residence hall exclusively for freshman students, originally named Freshman Hall. Renamed Patton Hall in 2013 after former Georgia State President Carl Patton,[100][101] the dorms are located on the corner of Piedmont Avenue and Edgewood Avenue, approximately 0.2 miles from the heart of GSU's campus.[102] The facility includes a 24/4.5 dining hall offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a buffet style.[103] The dining hall is open to all Georgia State students, and all residents of Patton Hall are required to have meal plans for the dining hall.[104]
Greek housing
During the 2010 academic year, Georgia State opened its Greek Housing facility, located adjacent to Patton Hall on Edgewood Avenue.[55] Each of the nine townhomes in the complex features a chapter room, kitchen, and bedrooms ranging from 9–19 beds.[105]
Piedmont North
Most recently, Georgia State acquired two hotels in downtown Atlanta, the Wyndham Garden Hotel and Baymont Inn and Suites on Piedmont Avenue.[64] The hotels and grounds have been renovated and changed into dorms, Piedmont North Buildings A and B, contributing to the university's transformation into a more traditional campus.[106] The complex now includes living and study space for approximately 1,100 students, as well as green space, recreational areas, and a brand new 12,000-square-foot (1,100 m2) dining hall, the Piedmont North Dining Hall.[63]
Piedmont Central
On May 14, 2014, the ground was broken on a new, 1,152-bed residence hall named Piedmont Central.[107] The hall received its first residents in fall semester of 2016.[107] The facility includes a 15,000-square-foot dining facility, conference rooms, communal kitchens, study rooms, and laundry facilities.[108]
Campus security
The department is composed of more than 160 state-sworn police officers, 60 full-time security guards, 10 part-time security guards, 16 communications dispatchers and eight staff members, making it the largest campus law enforcement agency in Georgia.[109]
Perimeter College
Perimeter College consists of five different campuses around the

Athletics and traditions
Sports
The 16 Georgia State
Georgia State began competition in all sports in the Sun Belt Conference in 2013, although it had already played all individual sports in the Sun Belt during the 2012–13 season.
Georgia State University charges a fee to each student who enrolls at the school. This fee is used for athletic scholarships and other costs associated with competitive athletics. The athletic fee allows students to use their Panther Card (student identification card) for free access to athletic events.[179]
The Panthers' most historic rivalry is with the Georgia Southern Eagles with basketball being played between the two since 1972. However, rivalries have grown since, including with South Alabama with the two programs starting football within a year of one another and playing each other and having played one another every season since Georgia States football's inception except one.
Georgia State University's first-ever national championship win was in esports in 2019. The university's SMITE: Battleground of the Gods team played against Arizona State University at Dreamhack Atlanta and won with a final score of 2 - 0.[180] The team has since won two additional championships, and participated in a third, becoming the winningest sport in the school's history.
The university also boasts several nonvarsity sports, including badminton, rowing, rugby, and wrestling [181]
1996 Summer Olympic Games
Georgia State University was used during the 1996 Summer Olympic Games, with the GSU Sports Arena hosting the badminton matches. Georgia State's prominent position in downtown Atlanta allowed the city to build some of its venues with

The school's coat of arms is registered in the College of Arms in the City of London.[187] The Latin motto means, "Truth is strong and will conquer" (or alternatively, "Truth is valuable and shall overcome"). The panther holds the symbol of education, with the quill in red to symbolize the fire in Atlanta's city emblem. The gold coin indicates the university's beginnings as a business school. The crown august is a representation of the Stone Mountain granite. The center flame is an eternal flame in honor of the first president, George Sparks, and represents flames of scholarship and the burning of Atlanta.[188]
Alumni and faculty
Since its opening, Georgia State has graduated more than 227,000 alumni.[189] Currently, an estimated 100,000 alumni live in the metro Atlanta area.[citation needed]
