STUDENT-ATHLETE HOUSING<br />

The majority of <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> student-athletes are housed in either the<br />

<strong>University</strong> Lofts or the <strong>University</strong> Commons. Both facilities provide the student-athletes<br />

a safe, comfortable place to call home during the academic year.<br />

Most <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> student-athletes live in the Lofts, which opened in August 2002 and<br />

is located on campus, just two blocks from the <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> Sports Arena, on Edgewood<br />

Ave between Piedmont Avenue and Courtland Street. The fully-furnished, loft-style<br />

apartments blend urban style with modern-day conveniences. Unit amenities include direct<br />

internet access in each bedroom, basic cable television service, local telephone service,<br />

private bedroom accommodations, key-locked bedroom doors, a refrigerator with ice<br />

maker, stove, dishwasher and garbage disposal.<br />

The Lofts also feature a laundry room, 24-hour computer lab and a meeting/community<br />

room.<br />

The Commons, a new 2000-bed student housing complex which opened in August<br />

<strong>2007</strong>, is located at the intersection of Piedmont Avenue and Ellis Street, just a short walk<br />

from campus. The four-building. state-of-the-art complex has apartment-style suites that<br />

include wiring for computers, internet access and cable television. The buildings, which<br />

are accessible only by electronic key cards and monitored 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week,<br />
