The $13.4 million project includes room for a new horticulture program, culinary arts space, science labs and technology labs. There are 28 “instructional spaces.”

The project will be funded primarily from the education Special Purpose Local Options Sales Tax (SPLOST) that was approved by voters in September 2006.
