Callaway Building Addition

Department of Geosciences
University of West Georgia

In May 2006 the Georgia General Assembly allocated $4.9 million dollars for the construction of an addition to the Callaway Building that will more than double the size of the present building, allowing it to house both the geography and geology programs (faculty, students, labs) of the Department of Geosciences. 

Construction will begin in early 2007 and will take approximately 16 months until completed.

The expanded Callaway Building will include office, instructional, and research space for the faculty, staff, and students of Geosciences, specifically:
 

• Physical Geography Research Lab 
   (suitable for biogeography, geomorphology,
   and/or soils research)
• Climatology Research Lab (third floor
   room with large windows providing 270°
   views)
• Geospatial Technologies Research Lab
   (GIS, computer cartography, image
   processing and analysis, etc.)
• Human Geography Research Room
• Geospatial Technologies Teaching Lab
   (GIS, computer cartography, image
   processing and analysis, etc.)
• Introductory Physical Geography Labs
• Introductory Physical Geology Labs
• Classrooms (multimedia equipped)
• Geosciences Faculty and Staff Offices
• Center for Water Resources
• Water Quality Lab
