Thirty years ago, Atlanta welcomed the world for the Centennial Olympic Games, a 17-day event that transformed the city and Georgia Tech’s campus. The Games brought unprecedented urban renewal and infrastructure projects, transforming Atlanta into a global stage. At the heart of this transformation was Georgia Tech. Serving as the Olympic Village and hosting several venues, Georgia Tech underwent changes that forever shaped its housing and athletic facilities.  

We invite the entire Georgia Tech community to relive these Olympic memories and explore their legacy at the opening of the library’s newest exhibit, Centennial Summer: Georgia Tech’s Olympic Legacy, showcasing the lasting impact of the 1996 Games through photographs, artifacts, and stories.  

Join us on Saturday, February 28, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on the first floor of Price Gilbert Memorial Library in the Scholars Event Theater. 

Co-hosted by the Georgia Tech Library & Alumni Association.
