Background: The Georgia Institute of Technology, or Georgia Tech for short, is a public university in midtown Atlanta, Georgia with about 15,000 students. Founded in 1885 as the Georgia School of Technology, it is primarily an engineering and science school, though it is also well-known for its programs in the related disciplines of architecture, mathematics, management, computer science, and public affairs. Georgia Tech's campus was the site of the athletes' village and a venue for a number of athletic events for the 1996 Summer Olympics.

Georgia Tech was at one time often referred to as the North Avenue Trade School, although this was never its official title. The name stems from the fact that the campus is bordered to the south by North Avenue, and that the school, in its earlier years was operated much like a trade school, with students working part of the day in a machine shop, and the other part of the day in classrooms.
