Georgia Tech Building $85M FB Stadium Addition
Competition for quality football players often often has more to do with facilities and amenities than season records or a schools legacy. Georgia Tech knows that and is modernizing its historic football stadium.
Georgia Tech officials recently broke ground on the Thomas A. Fanning Student-Athlete Performance Center, a project designed by The S/L/A/M Collaborative and to be built by DPR Construction, both Atlanta-based companies.
The 100,000-square-foot expansion is happening at the northeast corner of the century-old stadium—now called Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field.
The performance center will house areas for athlete strength and conditioning, sports medicine, nutrition, academic support, and Tech athletics’ Total Person Program. Other facets will include expanded space specifically for Georgia Tech football, to include a football-only players’ lounge, meeting spaces, and strength-and-conditioning facilities. The Fanning Center will also be equipped with Tech’s first sports science lab, which uses pro-model motion tracking to analyze student-athletes’ performance data.
