DREAMS. MADE REAL.
Georgia Legislature Approves Funding
For Clayton State University Science Building
A project a decade in the making, and one
that will help make generations of
Clayton State University students’ dreams
real, is one step closer to fulfillment.
The Georgia General Assembly yesterday
approved the state’s FY 2014 budget for
the University System of Georgia, a budg-
et that included approval of the bonds
needed to fund a $19.8 million science
building for Clayton State University. The
budget is still subject to final approval by
Governor Nathan Deal.
Additional labs and classroom space for
the natural sciences have been a need for
Clayton State since the University has
expanded from 4675 students in 2001 to
more than 7000 students currently.
Indeed, given the science course and lab
requirements in the core curriculum, the
lack of a dedicated science building has
limited the University’s enrollment, in
effect limiting the number of students
who can make their dreams real at
Clayton State.
In addition to meeting the needs of the
University, the new science building will
also help the University meet critical
needs in several fields in Atlanta’s
Southern Crescent; notably in nursing,
healthcare managers for Southern
Crescent medical facilities, science edu-
cators, and entrepreneurs in the STEM
(Science, Technology, Engineering,
Mathematics) disciplines.
“Governor Deal and his staff deserve the
credit for their efforts and leadership to
include the building in the FY14 budget,”
says Clayton State President Dr. Thomas
Hynes. “It was truly a bipartisan effort in
both chambers that secured funding.”
Senate leadership continued their histori-
cal support of the project in the Senate.
This year members of the Southern
Crescent Delegation provided the crucial
difference to getting the building into the
FY14 budget that now heads to the
Governor’s desk.
“The leadership of our delegation from
the Southern Crescent area was instru-
mental in securing agreement from the
General Assembly to move ahead with the
construction of this facility,” says Hynes.
Clayton State University and Daejeon
Health Sciences College, located in
Daejeon, South Korea, signed a memo-
randum of Understanding (MOU)
between the two organizations on
Monday, Mar. 25.
