context_page_description: The main campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology occupies part of Midtown Atlanta, primarily bordered by 10th Street to the north, North Avenue to the south, and, with the exception of Tech Square, the Downtown Connector to the East, placing it well in sight of the Atlanta skyline. In 1996, the campus was the site of the athletes' village and a venue for a number of athletic events for the 1996 Summer Olympics. The construction of the Olympic Village, along with subsequent gentrification of the surrounding areas, significantly changed the campus.
  The Georgia Tech campus is located in Midtown, an area north of downtown Atlanta. Although a number of skyscrapers are visible from all points on campus, the campus itself has few buildings over four stories and has a great deal of greenery. This gives it a distinctly suburban atmosphere quite different from other Atlanta campuses such as that of Georgia State University.
  In addition to the main campus, Georgia Tech also operates satellite campuses in Savannah, Georgia; Metz, France; Athlone, Ireland; Shenzhen, China; and Singapore.
context_section_description: Tech Green is a 3.2 acre green space located on Central Campus, bordered by Clough Commons to the east and Tech Walkway to the south. The Student Center and Kessler Campanile are located to the southwest of the space. Directly underneath Tech Green lies a 1.4 million gallon cistern system. According to the Georgia Tech Arboretum, as of 2016 there were 949 trees located on Tech Green, with a canopy cover of over 33,000 square feet. Tech Walkway, formerly known as and often still referred to as Skiles Walkway, cuts through a part of Tech Green and connects the Student Center to several academic buildings, such as the CULC and Library. The walkway serves as a popular venue for canvassers of various student groups.
