Built in 1928 and named for the college’s first dean, Brooks Hall houses the dean’s office, a 300- seat auditorium and more than 260 faculty and staff offices. Brooks Hall is flanked by Sanford Hall and Caldwell Hall. Sanford has a student lounge and 13 seminar rooms and classrooms, with seating capacity ranging from 10 to 330. Sanford is home to Terry’s Undergraduate Student Services and the Institute for Leadership Advancement. Caldwell is primarily devoted to classroom space and also houses the Music Business Program.
Terry in Atlanta
Prominently located in the One Live Oak office complex on Lenox Road, across from Lenox Square Mall in Buckhead, the Terry Executive Education Center is the home of the college’s Executive MBA program and one of two sites in metro Atlanta for the Professional MBA program. The center also hosts the college’s non-degree executive programs. Opened in 2005, the 33,000-square-foot facility spans three floors and features tiered executive classrooms, conference rooms, break-out meeting space, interview suites and offices.

The University of Georgia offers several graduate programs in Gwinnett County, including the Professional MBA and Master of Internet Technology. UGA’s Gwinnett Campus facility is located in the Intellicenter Building on Sever Road in Lawrenceville, just off I-85.

UGA’s Griffin campus, located 40 miles south of Atlanta, was established as the Georgia Experiment Station in 1888 and is the site of Terry’s newest undergraduate business program.
C. Herman & Mary Virginia Terry
In October of 1991, the College of Business Administration was renamed in honor of alumnus Herman Terry, and his wife, Mary Virginia. Mr. Terry (BSC ’39) held executive positions with several insurance firms, including president of Dependable Insurance Co. In 1990, the Terrys donated what was, at the time, the largest private gift in UGA history. That record gift, along with subsequent gifts, has endowed faculty chairs, summer research support, scholarships and facility upgrades to the Executive Education Center in Atlanta.
Mr. Terry, who passed away in 1998, was an emeritus trustee of the UGA Foundation and in 1986 received the college’s Distinguished Alumni Award. In recognition of her ongoing support as an emeritus trustee of the Arch Foundation, a charter inductee of the Pinnacle Society and a Dean’s Distinguished Service Award winner, Mrs. Terry was presented with an honorary doctorate from the University of Georgia in 2009. She was the 2011 Terry Graduation Convocation keynote speaker.
