There are only 3 of these Rand McNally monumental globes in existence: UGA, Athens, Princeton and Columbia University.
"For many generations, the UGA geophysical globe has been a focal point on campus, and has often served as a backdrop for photographs and television interviews. With restoration complete, the globe is as close to its original condition as possible, represents an important reminder of Cold War history, and remains an important teaching tool today. "
