EDUCATION GUIDE
into the school
year, the new cam
pus center is already
bringing more ener
gy to Oglethorpe.
“It’s both a re
sult of and symbol
ic of the growth and
change at the uni
versity,” Schall said.
The stone exteri
or blends with the
Brookhaven uni
versity’s signature
Gothic architec
ture, but the inside
of the facility is a
sleek, modern space
for dining, meet
ing and studying. It
includes a campus
book store, dining
hall, coffee shop,
and a new program
called the Atlanta
Laboratory for Learning — or A Lab for
short.
The A Lab focuses on the “experien
tial” side of education — study abroad
programs, internships, service projects
and undergraduate research opportuni
ties. “The A Lab is just starting, and I
think it’s going to span a lot of interest
ing ideas and programs,” Schall said.
Oglethorpe isn’t done yet with its
building program, Schall said.
University officials have plans to in
crease the student body from about
1,100 to 1,500 students, incrementally
adding 30-40 students per year. Along
with plans for growth, Schall said the
university is looking to add more stu
dent housing and a new academic
building to the 100-acre campus by
the year 2020.
“There’s plenty of demand for a place
like Oglethorpe,” Schall said. “But we’ll
still be a small, residential college.”
