The Christopher W. Klaus Advanced Computing Building is a three-story academic building at the Georgia Institute of Technology that houses a portion of its College of Computing, College of Engineering, and related programs.HistoryFinancingIn 2000, the building was financed by a $15 million donation from successful internet entrepreneur and former Georgia Tech student Chris Klaus. Klaus was a founder of both Kaneva and Internet Security Systems. At the time of Klaus' contribution, it was the fifth-largest contribution by an individual in Georgia Tech's history. Klaus was 26 when he made the donation.PlanningArchitect Perkins+Will was selected. The site of the old Health Center was selected for the new computing building's location, and a new $7.1 million Health Center was built near the Georgia Tech Campus Recreation Center to free up that land. The Health Center faculty were then moved to the new facility in March 2003. Construction was initially planned to start in Summer 2003, but there was some difficulty in the ownership of the many parcels that the site encompassed. Several were of uncertain ownership, and Georgia Tech had to verify that it owned every part of the site before the Georgia Board of Regents would allow construction to proceed. "f you look at some old maps, way, way back when was just a few buildings, these were all home sites... Before the Board of Regents will allow anyone to build on a site, they have to have the deed in hand and know that the property belongs to the Board of Regents... That was a major, major issue for us... e literally had to go through with the city and everybody else trying to reconcile who’s the owner." Construction bids were set in December 2003, and the winning contractor was scheduled to begin in early January. General contractors WG Yates & Sons Construction received permission from the state to occupy the site in February 2004. From that date, the project was expected to take two years to complete.

The School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology is one of the oldest – and largest – educational programs of its kind in the country. The Institute had been asked to instruct U.S. Army personnel in aviation matters as early as 1917. A stand-alone department was formed in 1930 after receiving the seventh – and last – grant from the Daniel Guggenheim fund. Known then as the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aeronautics, its name was officially changed to the School of Aerospace Engineering on July 1, 1962.

The Alliance is a communications network for communities west of the Connector to partner on issues of common concern. Launched jointly in 2011 by the neighborhoods of English Avenue and Vine City, and Georgia Tech’s Westside Task Force, the Westside Communities Alliance works to build relationships between these constituencies. Many of Atlanta's most important and historic institutions — including the Atlanta University Center consortium, Georgia Tech, and Georgia State University — are on the West Side, and over half of the city's college students conduct their studies there. The Alliance would serve as a nexus point for area communities and institutions to tackle local challenges and find points of unity. We seek to be a model for multi-institutional engaged scholarship and service for Atlanta, as well as a resource for communities in need of partners and expertise. Through an exchange of knowledge, innovative and effective projects, and by developing sustainable partnerships between our collaborators to assist the City with revitalization and development of Atlanta's West Side, we envision an urban future as one where we stand united in support of strong, vibrant communities.

The Alpha Gamma Chapter of Delta Sigma Phi was established at Georgia Tech on January 10, 1920, when it brought to campus a truly unique fraternity experience. After a three-year hiatus, the Alpha Gamma chapter of Delta Sigma Phi was reinstated in 2000 and received its charter on April 20, 2002. Although our chapter is relatively young, we have already shown that Delta Sigs are capable of becoming Mr. Georgia Tech finalists, of attaining the highest fraternity G.P.A., of strengthening the community through service, and of truly coming together as a family. Still, we are not content to rest upon these achievements. Instead, we eagerly look to the future for the addition of new brothers to add new depths and strengths to an already solid brotherhood.
