Georgia Tech is transforming one of the most historic buildings in Midtown Atlanta into what they describe as a new-age hub for technological innovation.

The school announced in May that The Biltmore, which the Georgia Tech Foundation acquired in 2016, would be renovated to provide a foundation for startup and entrepreneurial resources.

Constructed in 1924, Tech officials refer to the landmark building as a “symbol of Atlanta’s growth” and a prime location for expansion.
