UGA dedicates two new facilities focused on student well-being and support

The University of Georgia held dedication ceremonies for two new student-focused facilities Thursday, celebrating the completion of projects that expand housing, dining, academic support and wellness services for students.

Attendees gathered at both the new First-Year Student Residence Hall Building 2266 and the Dining, Learning, and Well-being Center to participate in ribbon-cutting ceremonies and tour the new facilities.

Speakers highlighted the role the new facilities will play in supporting student success.

“These two buildings are tremendous additions to our campus. They will further enhance UGA’s world-class learning environment, providing students with the opportunity to eat, study, learn and grow in spaces that have been intentionally and carefully designed to meet their needs,” said UGA President Jere W. Morehead. “They also will provide our students with immediate access to important resources and support services that will remove barriers as they progress towards their degrees.”
