As for looks, the preliminary plans make the existing GSU dorms on Piedmont look like the Louvre. The facade is one of the worst I've ever seen. Hopefully they'll change it based on comments from the City and Downtown DRC.

This is exciting news for that corner...hopefully GSU will step up on the design, but I wouldn't expect a lot from university housing. They can at least try to make it less offensive without incurring extra costs.
I'm looking forward to seeing the plans. Keep us updated?
