Facilities Management providing much-needed face lift to Front Campus centerpiece

In case you’ve been curious, some changes are afoot on Front Campus.

The Bobcat Medallion is in the process of being refreshed with a new installation to withstand the foot traffic, events and ceremonies that make Front Campus such a valued part of our institution.

The existing Bobcat Medallion is showing signs of wear and tear, with cracks forming throughout, especially around the Georgia College & State University lettering. A new medallion, with a more-robust construction is already in the works to make sure this focus-point of the Georgia College experience continues to display its Bobcat pride.

The new medallion will consist of a single piece of four-inch-thick granite with etched and sealed lettering. It more than doubles the thickness of the multi-piece granite installation that it is replacing.

The new medallion will be stronger and provide a better platform for all the celebrations that happen in December and May, with newly-minted graduates proudly walking across Thunder’s granite visage for the first time.

The existing design of the Front Campus walkways with its Bobcat Medallion centerpiece dates to 2001. This is not the first time Georgia College has replaced the medallion. Facilities Management replaced the original medallion in 2014. With over 20 years of research and design experience, Facilities Management is building a better Bobcat Medallion that will continue supporting our graduates and traditions for decades to come.
