There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The 82-inch caliper Eastern Cottonwood at The Historic Academy of Medicine has reached the end of its life and will be removed later this fall. Tech has been in contact with the city arborist to ensure the City of Atlanta Tree Preservation Review Board has been made aware of the required removal. Since taking over this historic property, Tech has made significant efforts to save the tree through fertilization, proper pruning, and more. Despite these efforts, the tree is splitting throughout its trunk area and will be removed before limbs begin to fall.
