Full Summary:
In anticipation of the newly transformed John Lewis Student Center and Stamps Commons coming online late this summer, reservations for all spaces within the newly renovated Student Center and Exhibition Hall are now open to the campus community.
Renovated Student Center renderingAs the Campus Center Project nears completion, the Student and Campus Event Centers Team is gearing up to serve the event needs of the entire community in their expanded portfolio of new spaces.
In anticipation of the newly transformed John Lewis Student Center and Stamps Commons coming online late this summer, reservations for all spaces within the newly renovated Student Center and Exhibition Hall are now open to the campus community.
The completed Student Center will include eight new meeting rooms, as well as a 165-seat theater with retractable theater seating and 297-seat theater. With the conclusion of the Campus Center project, services that have been temporarily located in the Exhibition Hall will move to their permanent home in the Student Center, allowing those spaces within the Exhibition Hall to return to their original purpose as event space. When this transition is complete, there will be an additional seven reservable spaces in the Exhibition Hall, including full use of the 11,598 square foot Midtown Ballroom space. Each room in the Exhibition Hall is named after an Atlanta neighborhood, and those in the new Student Center are named after Atlanta’s major streets. Names for both buildings were chosen by Georgia Tech students.
The community is encouraged to explore these future spaces online following the links above to find information on available setups and comparisons to rooms with which the community is already familiar. All spaces are reserved through GT Events.
Those planning events over this summer should note that all spaces in the Exhibition Hall and West Village will be offline beginning May 28, 2022, to allow the team to focus on the transition to operations in the new Student Center. Spaces will reopen in a phased approach:
West Village spaces reopen Thursday, July 28.
Exhibition Hall Midtown Ballroom spaces reopen Monday, August 1.
John Lewis Student Center and Stamp Commons’ meeting spaces open Monday, August 15.
John Lewis Student Center and Stamp Commons’ Atlantic Theater open Monday, August 29.
Exhibition Hall second floor meeting spaces reopen Monday, October 31.
Community members looking to reserve space for the summer can explore alternatives meeting and event spaces on GT Events.
Further updates on the Campus Center project and the move of services into the Student Center this summer will be available on the Student Center's social media.
