While I was in Young Harris, Georgia this past week at a conference, I noticed something unique on the Young Harris College campus. They have converted an old motor lodge into office space. According to their website, an old restaurant provides strength and conditioning space. The individual hotel rooms from the past have been converted into offices for all athletics staff. I love how they took an old relic and transformed it into usable space. In the description on their website, they reference the former restaurant in the motel by name, which made me think that the former restaurant holds special meaning for the local community members.
Like many mountain campuses, Young Harris relies on the beauty of the surrounding area, which makes even an old motor lodge seem beautiful. I took a few additional photos to show how the space has been repurposed. Being sustainable sometimes means taking what we have and making it better.
