The University of Georgia’s Creswell Hall on the Athens campus is scheduled to undergo a multi-million dollar renovation this summer.

UGA officials said the renovations will cost $115.7 million.

The renovation project will include a complete overhaul of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Redesigned double rooms will feature natural light and adjustable furniture, and modern shared spaces including floor kitchenettes.

In shared spaces, there will be enhanced community bathrooms with improved privacy features, upgraded elevators, improved ADA accessibility, innovative laundry facilities which will double as student lounge areas, and a larger community kitchen.

There will be exterior maintenance and improvements including new windows and aesthetic modernization.

The university said the renovations “will modernize the 1963 building and enhance the living experience for students while maintaining the building’s role as a cornerstone of campus housing.”

“We’re excited to offer more than 900 updated and modernized spaces to future students through this renovation,” said Linda Kasper, executive director for university housing. “We know from our renovations of Brumby and Russell halls that students appreciate increased bathroom privacy and updated amenities, which we will continue to offer as we renovate Creswell.”

Full construction will begin in the spring of 2027.
