Georgia Tech athletics and DPR Construction celebrated another milestone in the construction of the Thomas A. Fanning Student-Athlete Performance Center on Friday with a topping out ceremony, commemorating the placement of the final steel beam in the 100,000-square-foot facility.
Located in the northeast corner of Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field, the Fanning Center was approved by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia in April 2022, and is being constructed on the footprint of the former Edge/Rice Center. The 100,000-square-foot facility will serve as a state-of-the-art hub for Georgia Tech student-athletes, with areas dedicated to strength and conditioning, sports medicine (including mental health services) and nutrition, as well as expanded and enhanced meeting and office space exclusive to Georgia Tech football.

The Fanning Center will also be equipped with the Institute’s first-ever sports science lab, which will use pro-model motion tracking to capture student-athletes’ performance data that will feed into an in-house data analytics office for performance tracking and analysis. [Georgia Tech]

Camp Evergreen hopes to start construction on a pool enclosure this summer to expand year-round use for campers.
The camp, 2776 N. 31st Place, which serves children and adults with disabilities, hopes to break ground on the $1.5 million natatorium project in August, so the outdoor pool, modified to be ADA accessible in 2016, can still be used during the nine-week summer camp. The City Plan Commission granted a conditional use permit for the project in July 2024, with construction planned to start last fall.
The enclosure will not only protect from summer heat and sun, but it will provide another activity for campers during winter when physical activity may be limited. [Sheboygan Press]
