Building 1516

DESCRIPTION

Building 1516 opened fall 2010 and is a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design LEED Gold-certified residence hall. Residents enjoy its proximity to the Ramsey Center, University Health Center, Hugh Hodgson School of Music, Lamar Dodd School of Art and the intramural fields at Lake Herrick. All residence halls have secure two-factor building access, WiFi and Ethernet internet access, laundry rooms, study lounges, community kitchens and access to a 24-hour desk.

In recognition of the later start date for spring 2026 classes, University Housing and UGA Dining Services will apply a modest fee reduction to eligible students – those living in residence halls that open later than unusual and those with an all-access meal plan. The fee reduction will appear as a credit on student accounts in December 2025, when spring 2026 fees are posted.
