Kappa Alpha fraternity house demolition underway
Athens, Ga. - Preliminary work toward demolition of the former Kappa Alpha
fraternity house located at 294 S. Lumpkin Street in Athens is underway this
week, with demolition to begin in earnest next week and the entire project
to be completed by the end of August. After following the standard approval
process through the University System of Georgia Board of Regents for
demolition of any building on university property, final approval for the
demolition was received on July 24.
Constructed in 1938, the house became occupied by Kappa Alpha fraternity in
1953. The last major renovation to the building was made in 1969, and Kappa
Alpha vacated it earlier this year. It is in poor condition, boarded up and
unoccupied. The University of Georgia will use the site for further
improvements under its Northwest Precinct master plan, which expands
academic facilities westward from the historic North Campus.
