Gore Education Center renovations underway

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.
