FAMU will receive $746,558 from the National Park Service (NPS), Historic Preservation Fund's Historically Black Colleges and Universities grant program, to renovate and/repair Jackson Davis Hall.
The historic Georgian Revival building, constructed in 1927 located in the heart of campus, is one of 14 projects in 10 states to receive $9.7 million from the grant program this year.
“These grants enable historic educational institutions to preserve the story of African American education and the campuses where new experiences and stories continue to evolve today,” said NPS Director Chuck Sams. “Through the Historically Black Colleges and Universities grants program, the National Park Service supports our HBCUs in the preservation of their historic campus structures and history."
