Georgia State University leaders envision creating a greenspace where students can gather along Gilmer Street. The plans include creating an enlarged “Panther Quad,” which closes off a section of Gilmer Street to vehicle traffic to create a zone of greenspace, food trucks, cafés and study and relaxation areas. The Quad will become the social heart of campus, helping to realize GSU President M. Brian Blake’s vision of creating a true “college town downtown.” Image credit: Georgia State University.
