announced plans for a new 50,000 square feet building on the Lees College Campus. It will be located on the Highland Avenue side of campus, replacing the empty Meteer Hall Dormitories. The building will consist of 10 classrooms, offices, meeting spaces, and will include an auditorium to seat around 300–500. The building will serve the local K-12 school districts and the City of Jackson, Kentucky and surrounding communities, as well as the campus itself. It is estimated that the cost will be around $15 million. This building is still in the developmental stages and it is unsure when the construction will begin.
