(AP) – A new $20 million facility will combine faculty offices,
classrooms and a dormitory in one building to accommodate a growing student body
at a college in central Missouri.
The Columbia Missourian reports that Columbia College announced plans Monday
for the four-story building, which would provide about 60,000 square feet of
space.
College officials said in a statement that the school saw a 13 percent
increase in student enrollment last fall and expects more growth.
President Scott Dalrymple says the facility will house School of Business
Administration offices, six classrooms and a larger event center on the first
floor. A 150-bed dormitory will take up the second, third and fourth floors.
Construction is slated to begin in spring 2018 and the building is expected to
be finished by August 2019.
