Facilities Construction Planned
Where a vast expanse of kudzu covers the large hillside just north of the college’s main entrance on Collins Hill Road, GGC is preparing to build a $12 million athletics complex this fall. Plans call for soccer, track, baseball, softball and tennis facilities, as well as a practice field, to be built on the site in a step-like manner, taking advantage of the natural topography.
“The complex will provide an impressive sight at the front door of our campus,” said Eddie Beauchamp, vice president for Facilities and Operations at GGC. “I’m sure the view will generate a lot of excitement within the community, and for students as well.”
Jay Patel, president of the GGC Student Government Association agreed.
“I think students will really be excited to drive by and see the athletics facilities at the campus entrance,” he said. “It will give the same effect as seeing Bobby Dodd Stadium from I-85 at Georgia Tech.”
