THE FLATS – Georgia Tech athletics and Lanier Islands Resort have entered a partnership that makes Lanier Islands the Official Hotel and Resort Destination of Georgia Tech athletics.
Nestled just a short drive north of Atlanta in Buford, Ga., Lanier Islands is a sprawling resort, offering accommodations, adventure activities and event venues, ideal for couples, families and corporate teams. Lanier Islands is a year-round resort with season offerings for both summer lovers and winter fans.
“It’s a great privilege to partner with Lanier Islands Resort, one of the premier hotels and resort destinations in the Southeast,” Georgia Tech vice president and director of athletics J Batt said. “We’re grateful for Matthew Bowling and his family’s longtime support of Tech athletics, and we’re very proud to link the Georgia Tech and Lanier Islands brands.”
“I am very proud that Lanier Islands Resort is now the Official Hotel and Resort Destination of Georgia Tech athletics,” Lanier Islands Resort president Matthew Bowling said. “Georgia Tech has meant a great deal to me and my family. My grandfather, Virgil Williams, my wife, my brother and myself are all alumni. The opportunity to partner our family business with the Institute that has provided us with so much is very special.”
