Georgia Gwinnett College broke ground yet again today – this time for a new instructional laboratory facility that will accommodate the college”s rapidly expanding student body.# Featuring seven modern, multi-disciplinary laboratories and an instrumentation core, the sleek facility is designed for optimum function in meeting the young college”s critical need for more laboratory space.
About 200 people attended today”s event, which was held on the future site of the $7 million, 24,000-sq. ft. facility.# It was funded by the University System of Georgia”s Board of Regents.
Without the new facility, Georgia Gwinnett College would have had to cap its enrollment at about 6,000 students.# The new laboratories will enable the college to enroll up to 8,500, a number that Kaufman expects to achieve in fall 2011.
