The 2022 state budget signed last month by Gov. Brian Kemp includes more than $37 million for five University of Georgia projects.
The largest of those projects is construction of a Poultry Science Complex at $21.7 million, which will feature labs and instructional spaces. Part of that project was also funded through last year’s budget.
The university tracks its projects online, and currently, the website shows the Poultry Science Complex is still in the design stage. Construction is expected to start March 14, 2022, and be open for classes by spring semester 2024.
UGA was not the only higher-learning institution to receive state funding this budget cycle. Athens Technical College is constructing an Industrial Systems Technology building with $13.1 million from the state.
