Technology Square, commonly called Tech Square, is the name of the block of 5th Street between the Downtown Connector and Spring Street in Atlanta, Georgia. It is so named because it was funded by the Georgia Institute of Technology and is the commercial center for the Georgia Tech campus. Announced in 2000[1] and opened in 2003,[2] the district was built over previously vacant surface parking lots and has contributed to an ongoing revitalization of the entire Midtown area. It lies across the Downtown Connector from the rest of the Georgia Tech campus and is connected to it by the 5th Street Bridge, which was reconstructed in 2007 to make it more pedestrian-friendly.
