History
On January 12, 2017, Georgia governor Nathan Deal announced $50 million, later increased to $60 million, in funding to establish the Georgia Cyber Center to promote cybersecurity research and collaboration among academic institutions, private industries, and governments. The Hull McKnight building, named after local businessmen James M. Hull and William D. McKnight, is a 167,000 square foot facility intended for academic spaces. The building is named in recognition of Michael Shaffer, who served as Augusta University’s Executive Vice President for Strategic Partnerships and Economic Development, and Teresa MacCartney, who held the position of Chief Financial Officer and Director of the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget for the State of Georgia, for their roles in establishing the center. == References ==
