Representatives from Auxiliary Services and Waffle House held a small ground-breaking ceremony at Tech Square last Friday, Feb. 5. The ceremony will start off a 60-90 day construction period leading up to the grand opening of the restaurant, tentatively planned to be some time in late spring.

One of the two vacant spaces in Tech Square is now slated for occupation. The double-unit space left empty by American Apparel will be filled by an on-campus Waffle House.

On June 29, a Midtown Atlanta parking deck at the corner of Spring Street and Fifth Street collapsed around 12:30 pm. The 1,415-space garage mainly served employees of the Centergy building, RBC Bank, Georgia Tech and patrons of the nearby L.A Fitness Center.

As of July 14, the demolition permit requested by the Georgia Tech Foundation for the 771 Spring St. property was denied. The 771 Spring St. building, commonly called the Crum and Foster Building, sits adjacent to the Management Building and is the proposed location for an expansion of Tech Square.

Over the past several weeks, Tech has played host to a variety of noticeable construction projects. One of these additions to Tech real estate is the new Acuity Plaza, located at the intersection of 5th Street and W. Peachtree Street, in front of the College of Management.
