The Athens-Clarke County Unified Government (ACCGov), in partnership with the Athens Downtown Development Authority (ADDA), has started the long-term redesign of College Square, a signature public space in the heart of downtown Athens. Sheridan Construction was awarded the project.

Construction on the College Square Redesign project began on January 28, 2026. The project is envisioned to transform College Square between East Broad Street and East Clayton Street into a people-focused public open space that supports the vitality of downtown.
