James E. Baugh Barracks Dedication

Another dream became a reality on the main campus of Georgia Military College on December 8, 2006 with the official dedication of the new barracks, named for James E. Baugh, M.D. (HS 1937 / JC 1939), who, with his wife, Beegee Clark Baugh, has made a legacy gift of $1 million for the project.

Designed collaboratively by Lord, Aeck & Sargent architectural and design firm of Atlanta and the executive office of GMC, the James E. Baugh Barracks will provide much-needed residence for the cadet population.

The new three-level, 57,465 square foot facility will provide 62 suites comprised of two rooms with four beds and desks, and one bathroom. The rooms are slightly larger than the rooms in Main Barracks and Vinson Hall and are wired for computers and have central hearing and air conditioning. One resident advisor suite and two common areas for group studies and interaction are included on each floor.

The first floor features The Baugh Hospitality Room for cadets, their parents, and other visitors. The Goodrich Family Conference Room, also on the first floor, will accommodate staff meetings, cadet training/command meetings, and other gatherings. On the third floor, The Usery Technology Center will enhance learning opportunities.

At a cost of $8.8 million, this facility further strengthens GMC’s commitment to excellence through providing a comprehensive quality educational experience for the institution’s cadet population.
