Sisters Chapel Restoration Receives Statewide Award
One of the College’s most admired architectural designs, Sisters Chapel has earned the coveted Excellence in Restoration Award from The Georgia Trust. The award, announced on April 22, 2006 recognizes the restoration of historic structures that depict accurate form, features and character of the structure as it appeared at a particular period.

The restoration took less than two years, resulting in more than 90 percent of the building's furniture and fixtures being restored or replaced. Central heating and air, public restrooms and upgrades to the audio, visual and lighting systems were part of the restoration. "We are honored to have received this distinguished award which represents the hard work and dedication that went into preserving the history and integrity of this wonderful landmark," said Arthur Frazier, director of Facilities Management & Services. The Trust has recognized superior preservation projects for more than 25 years. Sisters Chapel was one of five projects to receive the Excellence in Restoration Award for 2006.
