The Dixie Coca-Cola Bottling Company Plant, also known as Baptist Student Center, Georgia State University or Baptist Student Union, Georgia State University, is a historic building in Atlanta, Georgia. It was the headquarters of the Dixie Coca-Cola Bottling Company, and the place where the transition from Coca-Cola as a drink served at a soda fountain to a mass-marketed bottled soft drink took place.
In 1966 the building became the Baptist Student Union for Georgia State University.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1983.
