Comprising more than 900 acres, the historic campus offers the quintessential college portrait _ Georgian-style, red-brick buildings with white columns surround a tree-lined circular drive known as Sweetheart Circle. Beyond the traditional Circle, contemporary buildings blend into the existing architecture to showcase the continuing growth and expansion of campus facilities. Major projects recently completed include construction of a new Health Services center and the Shooting Sports Education Center. Located in Statesboro, a safe, diverse All-American Main Street community of approximately 30,000 residents an hour northwest of Savannah and Hilton Head Island, Georgia Southern provides the benefits of a major university with the feeling of a smaller college in a classic Main Street community.
