Georgia Tech Dedicates the George and Scheller Towers
Georgia Tech cut the ribbon on Tech Square Phase 3, a 416,500-square-foot complex of the 18-storey George Tower for the Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering and the 14-storey Scheller Tower for the business school, joined by a shared lift core. Its first three floors had opened to the campus in January 2026.
- "ATLANTA (Sept. 18, 2026) — Georgia Tech today celebrated the completion of George Tower | Scheller Tower, a new home for industrial engineering and business education designed to prepare future leaders and strengthen Georgia's innovation economy", with a ribbon-cutting that "marks the completion of a project years in the making"[1]
- The building brings the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering and the Scheller College of Business into a shared environment for collaboration among students, faculty, researchers, entrepreneurs and industry partners, in the heart of Tech Square[1]
- "Designed for the next 50 years", it uses advanced systems and sustainable design strategies that significantly reduce energy and water use[1]
- The project "recently earned LEED Platinum certification, the highest level awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council, and a 4 Peach rating, the highest rating through the Georgia Peach Green Building Rating System administered by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission"[1]
- It was funded by the state of Georgia and by donations from Georgia Tech alumni and their families: Bill and Penny George, Ernest "Ernie" Scheller, and H. Milton "Milt" Stewart and Carolyn Stewart, along with many other donors[1]
- President Ángel Cabrera: "People will notice the striking architecture, the classrooms, and the technology inside the new towers... What matters most is what that design enables — the learning and exchange of ideas between students, the multidisciplinary collaborations between engineering and business faculty, and the support of innovation and entrepreneurship at the heart of Tech Square"[1]
- Those at the ribbon cutting included State Representative Matt Dubnik, ISyE Dean Pinar Keskinocak, University System of Georgia Chancellor Sonny Perdue, Penny and Bill George, Lisa and Ernie Scheller, President Angel Cabrera, Scheller College of Business Dean Anuj Mehrotra, Provost Raheem Beyah, Alexandra Akosa-Sissoko and Buzz[1]
- The release gives no floor areas, storey counts or shared lift core, and does not mention a partial opening in January 2026, so those details in the pin are uncorroborated here[1]
