caption_attribution_description: English: Swann Building on the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia, United States
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: The Janie Austell Swann Building is an academic building on Central Campus and a part of Georgia Tech's Historic District. The building was dedicated in 1901 following a donation by James Swann and named in memory of his deceased wife. While initially constructed as a dormitory, the building now houses the School of Modern Languages. The building has experienced renovations in 1964 and 2006.
