Welsh Bulldog Print + Design Cover photo by Scott Duvall, Jawavi Films Provided courtesy of Terry College of Business Cover The Business Learning Community at the University of Georgia is the new home of the state’s flagship business school at the nation’s birthplace of public higher education. Built in three phases spanning six years, the Business Learning Community is a remarkable testament to the public/private partnership between the state of Georgia and the many alumni and friends of the Terry College of Business who supported the Building Terry campaign through their private gifts. The complex of six buildings provides the highly collaborative learning environment that Terry’s faculty and staff have long envisioned for all business students, featuring modern classrooms, team rooms, and spacious common areas. Correll Hall was the first to open in 2015. The next phase, which included Amos Hall, Benson Hall, and Moore-Rooker Hall, opened two years later. The third and final phase of construction was completed in 2019. It features two buildings – Ivester Hall and Sanford and Barbara Orkin Hall – separated by the Coca-Cola Plaza.
