What are the most significant things you learned from this site visit?  What questions arose from this visit?

I really enjoyed both sites. Georgia Tech has a very large rec center that could use employees. They offer a kind of safe haven for students on campus and even offer alumni access. The Georgia Dome was really cool because we got to see all the backstage things. The parts I liked best were the really high level deck, suites, and being on the field. It was fun and memorable.
