About this School

Augusta State University is a public, four-year university located in Augusta, Georgia.

History

The school was chartered as the Academy of Richmond County in 1783. It opened in 1785 offering college-level classes for boys. Studies were suspended during the Civil War and the building was used as a hospital for wounded soldiers. Operation of the academy was overseen by a board of trustees until 1909, when control was passed to the Augusta Board of Education. As enrollment increased, land for a second building was purchased. In 1925, prior to completion of the new building, the Junior College of Augusta was established. In 1958, the college became a part of the University System of Georgia and its name was formally changed to Augusta College. Augusta College remained a two-year college until 1963, when it attained four-year status. An additional campus was added in 1991 to accommodate a greater number of students. In 1996, Augusta College was renamed Augusta State University. The current president of the university is William A. Bloodworth (since 1993). The early 21st century has seen substantial development of the campus, first with the construction of a new science building, then the construction of Allgood Hall (completed in 2002, and named after the deceased politician Thomas F. Allgood) and University Hall (completed in 2004). Six older buildings have been demolished and further development is underway. The reason for this demolition and construction is that these buildings had large amounts of asbestos and lawsuits encouraged the school administration to demolish the buildings in question.
