This project includes 28,000 square feet of new construction and the 22,215-square-foot renovation of Chambliss Hall, originally constructed in 1971. The Georgia Peach-certified building is a pre-engineered steel structure with brick veneer containing three key elements:

• A high bay, clear-span shop to support the large-scale equipment necessary for modern agricultural engineering technology, precision agriculture, and forestry program operations.
• A high bay, clear-span covered structure for livestock and animal science instruction, youth programs, equipment operation, and
  display, and other open-air activities.
• Central connector space with restrooms, service and instructional areas, offices, and storage.

The project also included the infrastructure necessary to develop the proposed site, which is outside the perimeter of the existing campus development. Upgraded shop functions included welding, hydraulics, engine, machine, and fabrication — the renovation combined minor reconfiguration with significant infrastructure, systems, lighting, and finishes upgrades.
