Saint Leo University has opened its newest education center in Atlanta.

Classes begin Monday, Jan., at the new location at 2450 Piedmont Road N.E., Atlanta. Saint Leo’s center in Morrow and Marietta ceased operations on Dec. 14 and students, staff, and faculty will transfer to the new Atlanta site.

“As a result of relocating, Saint Leo will have to opportunity to offer our students a wider variety of academic programs, state-of-art technology, and a higher level of security,” said Mary Estes, Atlanta area director. “The new Atlanta center is more than double the size of our former Atlanta centers [in Morrow and Marietta].”

The Saint Leo University Atlanta Education Center is in the “heart of Buckhead” at Lindbergh City Center. Saint Leo occupies the entire second floor with more than 23,000 square feet. “Our initial plan is to develop eight classrooms with the potential of developing six more in the future,” Estes said.

The new center features a Learning Resource Center, cybersecurity lab, student lounge, and unlimited Wi-Fi. The Lindbergh MARTA station is on-site.

Saint Leo was founded in the Tampa, Fla.-area in 1889. The Atlanta location offers associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. Associate degrees are offered in liberal arts, business administration, and criminal justice.
