Georgia Military College’s Augusta campus has temporarily transitioned all in-seat classes to remote learning for the week of July 14–18, following a lightning strike that caused significant damage to the facility.
We are incredibly grateful that no one was injured during the incident and appreciate the swift response from emergency services. However, the building sustained electrical, water and fire damage and will remain closed while restoration efforts are underway, according to a news release.
Faculty will continue to provide academic instruction remotely, and students have been advised to monitor their portal for specific guidance and updates from instructors.
