UWG Newnan buildout underway
The long-awaited buildout of the former Newnan Hospital nurse’s dorms at what is now the University of West Georgia-Newnan is now underway.
This historic space, originally constructed in 1925, is nearly 90,000 square feet, with the new build-out of the “warm shell” activating close to 5,600 additional square feet.
“This unique space is designed around a holistic experience that celebrates and preserves the historical significance of the building while also providing a state-of-the art environment that supports positive learning interventions for students,” said Dr. Russell Crutchfield, UWG’s chief of staff and lead over operations at UWG Newnan.
Newnan Mayor Keith Brady said UWG Newnan’s growth is a direct outcome of the commitment and engagement of its stakeholders.
“UWG Newnan is a wonderful part of our community and it represents a significant commitment by government, civic and community leadership that ultimately paved the way for UWG to be a bigger part of what makes Newnan exceptional,” Brady said. “We are very pleased with UWG’s expansion here and look forward to the university being a big part of our community for years to come.”
Landscaping and interior upgrades are also planned throughout the campus.
