GEORGIA SOUTHERN CUTS RIBBON FOR JACK AND RUTH ANN HILL CONVOCATION CENTER

Georgia Southern University officials cut a ceremonial ribbon to open the Jack and Ruth Ann Hill Convocation Center, affectionately known as “The Hill,” on Dec. 4, 2024. At 95,000 square feet, it is the largest event venue space between Savannah and Macon. The center features roughly 8,000 square feet of new space for a Waters College of Health Professions sports psychology lab, a satellite research lab, faculty offices, a conference room and classrooms. The arena will serve as the new home court for Georgia Southern Eagles NCAA basketball games, with more than 5,900 in seating capacity, a 50% increase over Hanner Fieldhouse.
