New College – UGA 30 (1823, 1831; Category 2). New College was constructed in 1823 as a dormitory, library, and classroom building. The original four-story structure burned to the ground in 1830, and was rebuilt by 1832, but without a fourth floor, as had been part of the original. The replacement building closely resembled Old College. The building has served many purposes. In 1905, it was converted into a dormitory. After World War II, the pharmacy department was housed in the building. Since the 1960s, New College has been used primarily for administrative offices.262 New College is listed as a contributing building of the Old North Campus Historic District.
New College stands north of and perpendicular to Old College. It has a single modest first floor entrance that faces Franklin Quadrangle. The building’s exterior walls are gray-painted stucco, scored to resemble stone in a fashion similar to Holmes Hunter, Moore College, and Candler Hall.
New College has been substantially rehabilitated. The windows and frames are metal but replicate its historic appearance. The interior of the building has been altered, although the original floor plan appears to have been retained. The building retains a high degree of integrity of the exterior, and is assessed as a Category 2 resource.
