All that remains of that building is, basically, the facade.\u0026nbsp;Preservationists wanted to keep the entire building.\u0026nbsp;Georgia Tech said two-thirds of it needed to be demolished to make room for the computing center. Earlier this year, a consent order issued by a Fulton County Superior Court judge paved the way for plans to move ahead.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOther sites could be chosen, instead, Majeroni said.\u0026nbsp;\u201cWe always consider other locations before a project is finalized,\u201d he said.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhile a project manager may be named in a matter of weeks, it could take at least a year to find out who wins the job as developer.\u0026nbsp;The earliest Tech might issue requests for qualifications is next fall, Majeroni said. The developer would design, finance and own the project.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETech would help anchor the building. The school would enter a long-term lease for about 50 percent of the space, and that could include Georgia Tech business functions. The space could also house data center operations, among other uses.\u0026nbsp;Less is known about what kinds of tenants a developer might target for the project, though companies that depend on high-performance data and network applications and others that involve genetic modeling for biotech and medical firms are options.\u0026nbsp;Three years ago, Princeton University launched a similar project.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETechnology Square is a more than 1 million-square-foot development Georgia Tech started 10 years ago that expanded the campus across the Downtown Connector.\u0026nbsp;Technology Square spans eight blocks, and it has been a catalyst for new real estate development.\u0026nbsp;The latest example: a 22-story tower to be developed by Gateway Development and South City Partners LLC.
