North Georgia College & State University - Campus

Campus

The heart of campus is the William J. "Lipp" Livsey Drill Field named after William J. Livsey, a North Georgia College graduate who went on to become a four star general in the Army. The drill field separates the residence areas of campus from the academic areas. The main campus covers 120 acres (0.49 km2) just off the main square of Dahlonega, with most of that area lying in a triangle created by West Main Street, Morrison Moore Parkway, and Georgia State Route 60. Student housing consists of the 3 military residence halls: Gaillard Hall, Patriot Hall, and Liberty Hall, 2 traditional residence halls: Lewis Hall and Donovan Hall, an apartment complex: Owen Hall, and North Georgia Suites. Academic buildings include Nix Fine Arts Center, Rogers Hall, Young Hall, Health and Natural Sciences (HNS), Hansford Hall (formerly West Main Hall and The Education Building), Newton-Oakes Center (NOC), Dunlap Hall, and The Pennington Military Leadership Center. Administrative buildings include Price Memorial, Stewart Student Success Center, the Downtown Office Building, and Barnes Hall. Other buildings on campus include the Library & Technology Center, the Dining Hall, Hoag Student Center, Student Center South, and the Recreation Center (known as the RecDeck because of the parking deck below it). The athletic facilities include Memorial Hall Gymnasium, the NGCSU Sports Complex which contains the baseball, softball, and soccer fields, and the tennis facility located at Yahoola Creek Park. Overall the campus owns 600 acres (2.4 km2) in adjacent or nearby parks and forests which include Pine Valley Recreation Facility and the North Georgia Astronomical Observatory.
