West Hall (Valdosta State University)

West Hall, built in 1917, is the oldest building at Valdosta State University and features a distinctive dome and Spanish-mission architecture. It is also the center of academic activity at VSU, with numerous classrooms, departments, and offices. West Hall is named in honor of Senator W.S. West, who as a US Senator from Georgia, led the legislation for the creation of a college in Valdosta through the Georgia Senate and donated the property that is now the main part of campus to the state for use by the new institution. History Construction In 1916 the Georgia legislature made an appropriation of $50,000 to build an Administration building for the South Georgia State Normal College and the city of Valdosta donated an additional $25,000 for the construction. The structure was only the second building constructed at the college. After the building was completed in 1917 it was named West Hall in honor of Senator W.S. West following his death in 1914. West had been one of the driving forces behind the development of a college in Valdosta as the author of the Colleges charter and the first President of the Board of Trustees. Addition A three-story annex was added to the rear of West Hall in the 1960s. The expansion added a greater number of classrooms to better accommodate the growing student population that followed Valdosta State becoming a co-educational institution in 1950. The addition was built in a contemporary style with jalousie windows and cinder blocks and the appearance of the new construction was a departure from the Spanish-mission theme of the original West Hall and the older buildings on campus. Renovation In December 1986 renovations began on West Hall to restore the building to the original design produced in 1910. The interior of West was completely gutted and rebuilt and the exterior was restored to its original Spanish mission architecture. The three-story annex added in to the rear of the building in the 1960s was remodelled to better match the rest of the building, and a two-story addition was built onto the annex as was planned in the original designs. The three-story rotunda was restored with the removal of second- and third-floor areas directly under West Halls distinctive dome. The 70-foot (21 m) rotunda features a bronze medallion containing the seal of the university, which features the exterior of the dome itself, and is implanted in a green marble floor. The restoration of West Hall took two years to complete. Current uses West Hall now houses the Administrative Offices of the President, Vice President for Academic Affairs, and the Dean of Arts and Sciences. The Departments of English, Political Science, and Modern and Classical Languages are located in West Hall. In addition, this building houses the Master's of Public Administration Program, the Foreign Language/International Culture Center, the language laboratory, an electronic classroom, the General Studies Program Office, and the Campus Writing Center.

Windsor Forest High School

Windsor Forest High School is a public high school in the Windsor Forest section of Savannah, Georgia, United States. Managed by the Savannah-Chatham County School Board of Education, its attendance area includes the southside Savannah neighborhoods of Windsor Forest, White Bluff, Wilshire, and Georgetown. History Windsor Forest High School opened in the autumn of 1967. It was the city's first air-conditioned high school and included grades 7 through 12. In 1967, fifth-grade pupils from overcrowded Windsor Forest Elementary were temporarily housed in a wing of the new high school. For several years, Windsor's middle school students were fully drawn from the area south and west of Holland Drive, while its high school students came from a larger attendance zone that stretched north and east to the middle of Montgomery Cross Road. Two court-mandated busing plans (in the summers of 1970 and 1971) markedly changed this attendance area, bringing in minority students from the subdivisions of Cloverdale and Liberty City in Savannah and reassigning some of Windsor's white students to Jenkins High School (1970-71 attendance year) and then to formerly all-black Beach High (from fall 1971 until 1992). With the large-scale integration of the south side in the 1990s, however, Windsor Forest High became the neighborhood school it was before busing. In 1975, middle school grades 7 and 8 were dropped and their students were transferred to new middle schools elsewhere in Chatham County. In 2015, history teacher Ernie Lee was named Georgia State Teacher of the Year for 2016. Notable alumni Kathy Pham, computer scientist Bernard James, professional basketball player (Dallas Mavericks) Marty Pevey, former professional baseball player (Montreal Expos) Eron Riley, professional football player (Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos, New York Jets, Saskatchewan Roughriders) Jason Shiell, former professional baseball player (San Diego Padres, Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Braves) References External links Official website Savannah-Chatham County Public School System

Woodruff Arts Center

Woodruff Arts Center is a visual and performing arts center located in Atlanta, Georgia. The center houses three not-for-profit arts divisions on one campus. Opened in 1968, the Woodruff Arts Center is home to the Alliance Theatre, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and the High Museum of Art. History In 1962, Atlanta suffered an unprecedented loss when an airplane, the Chateau de Sully, carrying the leaders of Atlanta’s arts and civic community, crashed at Orly Airport in Paris. As the city grieved, it came together and used the devastating loss as a catalyst for the arts and built a fitting memorial to these victims. This led to the creation of the Atlanta Arts Alliance. The Memorial Arts Center, as the Woodruff was originally known, opened October 5, 1968. The building was designed by Atlanta architect, Joe Amisano. It was renamed the Woodruff Arts Center in 1982 to honor its greatest benefactor, Robert W. Woodruff. The art center also included the Atlanta College of Art, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the High Museum of Art. All three entities were combined into one corporation. The Alliance Theatre was added in 1970 as the fourth division of the Woodruff and 35 years later in 2005, a fifth division was added when Young Audiences joined the center. This addition ensures that the Woodruff’s PreK-12 programs now reach more than one million children annually, the largest base of any arts center in the country. The Woodruff campus expanded in 1983 with the addition of the Richard Meier-designed High Museum of Art building. This building made Meier the youngest Pritzker Prize-winning architect at that time. On November 12–13, 2005, the Woodruff introduced its largest expansion since opening in 1968. The new addition features two new exhibit buildings and a new administrative and curatorial building for the High Museum of Art; a residence hall and sculpture studio; a full-service restaurant and public piazza; and a new parking structure. This new "village for the arts" was designed by another Pritzker Prize winner, Italian architect, Renzo Piano. In August 2025, Michelin-recognized chef Craig Richards opened Elise, a new French-Italian restaurant, on Sifly Piazza across from the main entrance of the High Museum of Art. In August 2024, the Woodruff Arts Center broke ground on the Goizueta Stage for Youth & Families and the PNC PlaySpace, two new educational performance venues for children. The spaces are scheduled to open in January 2026. Layout The Woodruff campus sits on 12.25 acres (4.96 ha) with a planned expansion to 18.25 acres (7.39 ha). Currently, the campus includes 906,000 square feet (84,200 m2) of exhibition, educational and performance space, plus a 200,000-square-foot (20,000 m2) garage located beneath the village. The Woodruff Arts Center houses the Grammy Award-winning Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the Tony Award-winning Alliance Theatre, and the High Museum of Art.

Woodruff Park

Woodruff Park, named for Robert W. Woodruff, is located in the heart of Downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The park's 6 acres (2.4 ha) are north of Edgewood Ave, between Peachtree Street NE and Park Place NE. The park includes a fountain, a performance pavilion, and several monuments. History The original 4 acres (1.6 ha) between Peachtree Street, Edgewood Avenue, Pryor St. (now Park Place) and the Candler Building were purchased anonymously by Mr. Woodruff then donated to the city in 1971 and the first incarnation of the park, Central City Park, opened in 1973. It was later revealed that Robert W. Woodruff had donated the funds for the park and it was renamed in his honor in 1985. In 1995, during the lead-up to the Centennial Olympic Games, the International Peace Fountain was constructed in the park. Woodruff Park has been the site of many demonstrations and rallies. Phoenix statue A bronze sculpture, Atlanta from the Ashes (The Phoenix), depicts a woman releasing a phoenix, a symbol of Atlanta's rise from the ashes after being burnt to the ground by William T. Sherman's Union armies during the Civil War. Atlanta from the Ashes (The Phoenix) was a gift of the Rich Foundation in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Rich's Department store. The sculpture was designed by James Seigler, sculpted by Gamba Quirino, and fabricated by Feruccia Vezzoni in 1969. Atlanta from the Ashes (The Phoenix) was originally located on a viaduct adjacent to the first Rich's Department store on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, S.W. & Spring Street, S.W., Atlanta, Georgia from 1969 to 1995. In 1995, the sculpture was restored and moved to its current location in Woodruff Park. Transportation Woodruff Park is served by the Atlanta Streetcar at two stations: one called Woodruff Park, and another called Park Place. References External links Map: 33°45′18″N 84°23′20″W

Savannah

Savannah (/səˈvænə/) je nejstarší město ve státě Georgie v USA. Bylo založeno v roce 1733 na řece Savannah. Stalo se hlavním městem britské kolonie Provincie Georgie. Za americké revoluce a během americké občanské války bylo strategickým přístavním městem, dnes je průmyslovým centrem a důležitým atlantským přístavem. V současnosti je pátým největším městem státu Georgie. Historie K založení města Savannah byl pověřen generál James Oglethorpe britským králem Jiřím II. Stát Georgie byl jediným americkým státem, jehož vznik byl naplněn osvícenskými ideály. James Oglethorpe, který se stal jeho prvním guvernérem, prosazoval plán sociální spravedlnosti, občanské ctnosti, spravedlivého přidělování půdy a zákazu otroctví. Nabízel výhodné podmínky všem exulantům pronásledovaným pro víru, čehož využili někteří salcburští exulanti, kteří byli v letech 1731-32 vykázáni ze Solnohradska. Dne 6. ledna 1734 zvážili v Herrnhutu Moravští bratři nabídku tohoto guvernéra (s potvrzenými privilegii Moravanů) a nabídku přijali. V dubnu 1735 dorazila do Savannah první skupina deseti moravských misionářů vedená Davidem Nitschmannem. K nim se v únoru 1736 připojila druhá skupina. Bratři na přidělených pozemcích vykáceli les, vyklučili pařezy, postavili si domy a školu pro domorodé obyvatele. Bratrská škola Irene byla slavnostně otevřena dne 20. září 1736, stála na nedalekém ostrově obývaném indiány. Bratři odmítali účast na jakýchkoli válečných aktivitách, proto se stali terčem nepřátelských útoků a jejich privilegia byla okleštěna. Ani práce ve škole se jim nedařila, protože většina indiánů propadla alkoholu. V dubnu 1740 Moravané misii v Savannah rozpustili a svoje zdejší působení vyhodnotili jako selhání. Odešli do Pensylvánie, kde začali znovu od základů budovat nové kolonie – Bethlehem a Nazareth.
