Klaus Advanced Computing Building

The Klaus Advanced Computing Building is a research facility at Georgia Institute of Technology designed to support computer science education and research. The structure contains dedicated spaces for teaching, laboratory work, and research projects across different computing disciplines.

The building opened in 2006 thanks to a major donation from a former student who became a successful internet entrepreneur. This funding support made possible the development of advanced research infrastructure for computer science at the institute.

The building houses the School of Computer Science and serves as a gathering place where students and researchers from different computing fields interact and collaborate daily. You can observe how the space facilitates informal meetings and knowledge sharing among people working on diverse technical projects.

Keep in mind that this is an active research and teaching facility where some areas may be restricted to authorized personnel only. Check with the institute beforehand to learn which parts are open to visitors and when you can walk through the public spaces.

A distinctive glass-enclosed corridor links two buildings on one level, with the glass panels displaying actual binary code patterns etched into them. This creative connection literally brings together computing concepts and the physical spaces where they are studied.
