UGA president wants campus parking decks checked

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — University of Georgia officials have asked for inspections of two parking decks under construction at the school that have the same contractor as the garage that collapsed in Atlanta this week.

A 488-space deck at UGA intramural fields and a 445-space deck near the Performing and Visual Arts Center on East Campus are slated for completion by fall. Atlanta-based Hardin Construction Co. is overseeing the projects.

University spokesman Chuck Toney said Monday’s collapse of four floors of a portion of the Centergy parking deck in Midtown Atlanta prompted UGA President Michael Adams to order inspections of all campus parking decks, including those under construction.

Hardin volunteered to have an independent engineer chosen by UGA to inspect the decks under construction.
