The long awaited renovations to the Gore Education Center are underway. When completed, the 71,366 SF facility will boast upgraded classrooms, labs and teaching spaces with state-of-the-art technology and equipment. In addition, the defunct Teaching Pool at the Gaither Athletic Campus will be completely refurbished.
Back in 2007, Sen. Alfred “Al” Lawson steered $8,301,606 into FAMU’s budget to help remodel the Gore Education Complex. That was followed by another $5,600,000 in 2008. Both appropriations came from Public Education Capital Outlay (PECO) dollars.
The renovations are expected to be completed by August 2012. You can a get glimpse of what the finished product should look like here.
