The University of Georgia School of Medicine is located on the Health Sciences Campus on Prince Avenue. From 1891 to 1932, the campus served as the State Normal School, Georgia’s first teachers’ college and the historical center of what is now known as Athens’ Normaltown district. The campus then served as the site for the U.S. Navy Supply Corps School from 1953 until 2005, when a series of federally mandated base closures paved the way for UGA to convert the historic site into the UGA Health Sciences Campus. The Health Sciences Campus is also home to the UGA College of Public Health.

Medical Education and Research Building

The 93,000-square-foot building will serve as the primary educational building for the School of Medicine. Included in the plans are large, active-learning classroom spaces, an anatomy lab, a simulation center, a clinical skills center, individual and group study options, a student lounge, and well-being spaces. Nearly one-third of the building’s space will be dedicated to biomedical research.

The building is scheduled for completion in December 2026.
