Academic classroom/office building approved

The CCU Board of Trustees recently approved a 46,000-square-foot building that will provide classroom and faculty office space for the growing institution. The four-story, $11 million building will house large and small classrooms on the first two floors and a total of 110 offices on the top floors. Groundbreaking is planned for summer 2011 with an expected completion in fall 2012. The project will be funded by revenue from the penny sales tax instituted last year for education-related construction. The plans must first be approved by the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education, the S.C. Joint Bond Review Committee and the S.C. Budget and Control Board before being implemented.
