Turfgrass Research & Education Facilities, Athens, Griffin, & Tifton

Georgia Turfgrass is a multi-billion dollar industry served by the research developed by the University of Georgia’s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. UGA turf scientists conduct research, extend information and train students in support of various turf-related industries. Many of UGA’s turf scientists have earned regional, national, and international acclaim as a result of their efforts to develop new products and management strategies to address the critical needs of Georgia’s turfgrass industry. The turfgrass research and teaching stations at the Athens, Griffin and Tifton campuses are antiquated and in need of improvement. The goal of this project is to provide facilities for turfgrass scientists to continue to their work in support of Georgia’s turfgrass industry.
