Georgia State University has broken ground on a 155,000-square-foot Research Tower on its downtown Atlanta campus.
The nine-story facility, set to be completed in 2026, will provide updated laboratories, flexible research space and modern teaching environments designed to foster innovation and collaboration.
“This is more than just a physical space, said Georgia State President M. Brian Blake. "This building expands our capacity for discovery and learning both at Georgia State University and in the Atlanta area.”
Research expenditures at Georgia State have more than doubled in recent years, growing from just over $91 million in 2012 to over $215 million in 2022. With that growth comes an increasing demand for research space to support Georgia State’s expanding programs.
The Research Tower also will further strengthen Georgia State’s role in driving economic growth in the region, university officials say.
