The Georgia Institute of Technology, commonly known as Georgia Tech, is a public, coeducational research university, part of the University System of Georgia, and located in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, with satellite campuses in Savannah, Georgia, Metz, France and Singapore. Georgia Tech is best known for its programs in engineering, computing, and the sciences, though it also offers degrees in architecture, liberal arts, and management.
Established in 1885 and opened in 1888 with the construction of Tech Tower and a shop building, Georgia Tech's campus occupies a large part of Midtown Atlanta. Since it opened, it has gradually evolved from a trade school to a technical university to a research university, and its history and traditions reflect that change. In 1996, it was the site of the athletes' village and a venue for a number of athletic events for the 1996 Summer Olympics.
