The current vision for Carter Hall includes constructing 19,600 square feet of new space on the south side of the structure (facing Hobbs Street) and 8,100 square feet of new space on the north side (facing Pryor Street). Additionally, the renovation of gym space would create seating capacity for approximately 1,100 individuals and would include movable partitions to allow for multiple event configurations to occur simultaneously. The plans also include a multi-purpose space on the north side with a seating capacity of approximately 700.

“This project has been long anticipated and will have a lasting impact on our students, city, county, region, and state,” said Dr. Catherine Wehlburg, President of Athens State University. “What excites me most is not just the construction and the renovation of the building, it’s what it represents. Carter Hall symbolizes the strength of partnership – the county, the state, the city, and Athens State and beyond coming together to meet the growing needs of our community. Today is about much more than bricks and mortar – it’s about opportunity, collaboration, and the future that we’re building together.”
