History

• Initially intended as a night school, Georgia State University was established in 1913 as the Georgia School of Technology's Evening School of Commerce, a business evening class that would grow into a full university over the following century.该校最初只是夜校，1913 年以佐治亚理工学院的商务夜校之名创立，这所晚间商学院此后一个世纪间发展成完整的大学。

• A reorganization of the University System of Georgia in the 1930s turned the school into the Atlanta Extension Center of that system, allowed night students to earn degrees from several of its colleges, and divided it into two divisions, Georgia Evening College and Atlanta Junior College.1930 年代佐治亚大学系统的改组把这所学校变为该系统的亚特兰大推广中心，使夜校生可获系统内数所学院的学位，并把它分为佐治亚夜学院与亚特兰大初级学院两部。

• In September 1947 the school became affiliated with the University of Georgia and was named the Atlanta Division of the University of Georgia, ending its three-decade subordination to the Georgia Institute of Technology as its parent institution.1947 年 9 月该校改隶佐治亚大学并更名为佐治亚大学亚特兰大分部，结束了此前约三十年以佐治亚理工学院为母机构隶属状态。

• For its first four decades the school was treated as an offsite department of its parent institution, Georgia Tech until 1947 and the University of Georgia thereafter, and its chief executive was accordingly called a director rather than a president.创校最初四十年间它被当作母校的外设部门看待，1947 年前隶属佐治亚理工学院、其后隶属佐治亚大学，故其行政首长只称主任而非校长。

• In 1955 the Board of Regents made it an autonomous four-year college under the name Georgia State College of Business Administration, and Walter Sparks, who had served as director since 1927, became the newly autonomous institution's first president.1955 年董事会把它升格为自治的四年制学院，定名佐治亚州立商务管理学院，自 1927 年起任主任的沃尔特·斯帕克斯遂成为这一自治机构的首任院长。

• As other programmes grew the name was shortened in 1961 to Georgia State College, and in 1969 the institution took its present title, becoming Georgia State University, the date marking its arrival at full university status.因其他专业渐增，1961 年校名简作佐治亚州立学院，1969 年又改用今名佐治亚州立大学，此年标志其正式取得大学地位。

• Annette Lucille Hall, a social studies teacher from Lithonia, became the first African-American student to enroll in 1962, a year after the integration of the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech, when she took the Institute on Americanism and Communism course required of all Georgia social studies teachers.来自利索尼亚的社会研究教师安妮特·卢西尔·霍尔于 1962 年成为首位入学的非裔学生，此在佐治亚大学与佐治亚理工合并入学一年之后，她修读的是佐治亚全体社会研究教师必修的美国主义与共产主义研究所课程。

• The Peachtree Road Race was founded in 1970 by Georgia State's cross-country coach and dean of men, Tim Singleton, who headed the event in its first six years before turning it over to the Atlanta Track Club.桃树路跑赛由该校越野教练兼男生教务长蒂姆·辛格尔顿于 1970 年创办，他主持首六届后才将其移交亚特兰大田径俱乐部。

• In 1995 the Georgia Board of Regents accorded Georgia State research university status, placing it beside the University of Georgia, the Georgia Institute of Technology and Augusta University as one of the system's research institutions.1995 年佐治亚董事会授予该校研究型大学地位，使其与佐治亚大学、佐治亚理工学院和奥古斯塔大学并列为该系统内的研究机构。

• During the late 1960s and early 1970s a major urban renewal project brought numerous buildings, among them Pullen Library in 1966, Classroom South and the library's expansion in 1968, the Arts and Humanities Building in 1970, the ten-story General Classroom Building in 1971 now called Langdale Hall, the Sports Arena in 1973 and the twelve-story Urban Life Building in 1974.1960 年代末至 1970 年代初的大规模城市更新建起多栋楼宇，包括 1966 年的普伦图书馆、1968 的南部教室楼与图书馆扩建、1970 的人文艺术楼、1971 年今称朗代尔楼的十层普通教学楼、1973 年的体育馆与 1974 年十二层的都市生活楼。

• In the 1980s a second round of expansion followed the 1979 acquisition of the former Atlanta Municipal Auditorium, which was converted into Alumni Hall in 1982 and then into Dahlberg Hall in 2010 and now houses the university's administrative offices.1980 年代的第二轮扩张始于 1979 年购入的旧亚特兰大市政礼堂，该楼 1982 年改建为校友楼、2010 年又改称达尔伯格楼，现用作学校的行政办公场所。

• The College of Law was founded in the Urban Life Building in 1982, the Title Building on Decatur Street was acquired and converted into the headquarters of the College of Education, and in 1988 the nine-story Library South was built and joined to Pullen Library by a three-story foot bridge that doubled the library's space.法学院于 1982 年在都市生活楼创建，迪凯特街上的泰特尔楼被购入并改作教育学院的总部与教学空间，1988 年九层的图书馆南楼建成并经一座三层天桥与普伦图书馆相连，使馆舍面积倍增。

• Growth continued into the 1990s with the expansion of Alumni Hall in 1991, the opening of the Natural Science Center in 1992, and the 1993 acquisition of the former C&S Bank Building on Marietta Street, which became the home of the J. Mack Robinson College of Business.扩张在 1990 年代延续，包括 1991 年校友楼扩建、1992 年自然科学中心启用，以及 1993 年购入玛丽埃塔街上的旧 C&S 银行大楼，后者成为 J. 麦克·罗宾逊商学院的院址。

Petit Science Center in 2010, the 26-floor 25 Park Place building in 2013 and the move of the College of Law to 89 Park Place in May 2015.2006 年总体规划后工程纷至：耗资 2,000 万美元的普伦图书馆翻新于 2006-07 学年完工，2,000 床的大学公寓 2007 年启用，2009 年建新生楼，同期购入公民信托大楼，2010 年帕克·H·珀蒂科学中心落成，2013 年入住 26 层的公园街 25 号大楼，2015 年 5 月法学院迁至公园街 89 号。

• The university pursued the 77-acre Turner Field site once the Atlanta Braves left for Truist Park, announcing its intentions in May 2014 to retrofit the stadium into a 30,000-seat open-air football ground and to preserve the wall where Hank Aaron hit his record-breaking 715th home run.该校在亚特兰大勇士队迁往Truist 公园后追逐 77 英亩的特纳球场地块，2014 年 5 月宣布拟把该球场改建为可容 30,000 人的露天橄榄球场，并保留汉克·阿伦击出创纪录第 715 支本垒打的那段围墙。

• On 31 May 2012 the athletics department released a facilities master plan for the GSU Sports Arena and new stadiums, and in 2016 an extension to the Parker H. Petit Science Center was completed with plans for graduate housing behind it, part of a strategic plan covering growth from 2011 to 2016.体育部门于 2012 年 5 月 31 日发布面向佐治亚州立体育馆及新球场的设施总体规划，2016 年帕克·H·珀蒂科学中心的扩建完工并规划其后方的研究生住房，此属覆盖 2011 至 2016 年增长的战略规划之一部分。

• On 5 January 2015 news broke of a merger with Georgia Perimeter College, a two-year college with five campuses, the Board of Regents approving it the following year, the combined university keeping the Georgia State name and its president, creating the largest university in Georgia at about 52,000 students, and lifting Perimeter graduation rates nearly threefold since the 2016 consolidation.2015 年 1 月 5 日传出与设有五校区两年制佐治亚皮尔蒙特学院合并的消息，董事会于次年批准，合并后大学沿用佐治亚州立之名与其校长，成为佐治亚州规模最大的大学、约 52,000 名在校生，且自 2016 年合校后皮尔蒙特的毕业率提升近三倍。

Campus

• From a single-building night school Georgia State built itself into the heart of downtown Atlanta, and while its nickname of the Concrete Campus dating from the early 1960s was once a mild embarrassment, the community embraced it together with the slogan that the university is a part of the city rather than apart from the city.从一栋楼办起的夜校，佐治亚州立大学把自身嵌进亚特兰大市中心，其始于 1960 年代初的绰号“混凝土校园”一度令人略感尴尬，但此后社群欣然接受它，并认同“身处城中而非置身城外”的口号。
