This thesis explores the current Georgia BOR Guidelines for Campus Historic Preservation Planning identifying ways that they can be expanded to better protect the integrity of the cultural resources found on our academic campus’. As steward of the greatest number of state owned resources in Georgia, the University of Georgia serves as a study of potential opportunities for guideline expansion. The University of Georgia (UGA) has not completed the mandated Campus Historic Preservation Plan and repeated conflict over the fate of its historic resources make it an ideal candidate for comprehensive preservation planning. Case studies of both public and private institutions in Georgia and across the region are included to provide examples of preservation planning methodology that is applicable to UGA and the rest of the university system institutions. The results of this study are compiled into a set of recommendations for preservation planning at UGA and across the USG.
