Amazon@GeorgiaTech Officially Opens in Midtown

ATLANTA, GA — Georgia Tech students, faculty, and administrators got a first look inside Amazon@GeorgiaTech, Amazon’s newest pickup location, on Friday.

The store officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony by Amazon and Georgia Tech leadership. Attendees also learned how to pickup and return Amazon orders.

In March, Amazon agreed with Georgia Tech to open Amazon@GeorgiaTech, a staffed pickup location at 86 Fifth Street on campus.

The first Amazon pickup location in the state of Georgia, Amazon@GeorgiaTech offers the campus community, as well as the larger Midtown Atlanta community a convenient location in Technology Square to pick up and return Amazon orders, including virtually everything one needs, from everyday essentials to technology.

The approximately 2,500-square-foot space is designed to be situated for Georgia Tech students, staff and faculty. Additionally, Amazon Student and Prime members will receive Free Same-Day Pickup for orders placed by noon and Free One-Day Pickup for orders placed by 10PM.

Since 2015, Amazon has opened staffed pickup locations at the following universities: Purdue University, University of Massachusetts Amherst, and University of California, Berkeley, as well as in the college communities of University of California, Santa Barbara, and University of Cincinnati.

In addition to Tech, Amazon also will open four more locations in 2016 with the University of Pennsylvania, University of California, Davis, and The University of Texas at Austin, as well as in the college community of University of Akron.
