Atkinson Hall, Georgia College

Atkinson Hall is a university building on the Georgia College campus designed in the Neoclassical style. Its exterior displays prominent columns and balanced proportions that define the architectural approach of that era.

The institution was founded in 1889 through legislation introduced by William Y. Atkinson, a state legislator who later became governor. The building arose during this formative phase of the college's early growth.

The building honors the support for women's education on campus, tied to Susan Cobb Milton Atkinson's influence. Her work shaped how this institution grew as a place of learning for women.

Access to the building is typically available through campus pathways, and its central location makes it easy to find. Visitors should know that it remains an active teaching space, so visiting hours may vary depending on the academic calendar.

In the 1970s, students, staff, and community members mobilized together to save the building from demolition. Their collective effort resulted in a complete restoration, preserving an important part of campus history.
