Revitalization of Legion Field latest project to improve key area of campus

Just over a decade ago, the University of Georgia’s West Campus was characterized by aging mid-century residence halls and underutilized student amenities, long past their prime and in clear need of revival.

Today, this central area of campus — home to more than 4,500 first-year students — has been transformed through a series of noteworthy renovation projects and new facilities, with more enhancements coming next fall.

“Everything we do is with the quality of the student residential learning experience first and foremost in our minds,” said Linda Kasper, executive director of University Housing. “Whether students live in our halls for only their first year or for multiple years, we want them to feel like they have the creature comforts of home in their home away from home.”
