Vol. 41 No. VI Serving the CLAYTON STATE UNIVERSITY Community March 29, 2010 Clayton State Couldn’t Wait To Break Ground for BHS Annex By John Shiffert, University Relations On Friday, Mar. 19, Clayton State University officially broke ground for an annex to the University’s Business and Health Sciences (BHS) Building.

Although, as both Clayton State President Dr. Thomas J. “Tim’ Hynes, Jr., and Interim Provost Dr. Micheal Crafton both pointed out at the ceremony, groundbreak- ings are typically held before construction starts, work on the BHS Annex had already begun before the ceremonial shovels were lifted. In both a literal and a symbolic sense, Clayton State was mov- ing ahead with the on-going growth of higher education in south metro Atlanta.

All together now. The Atlanta region is home to an extraordinary mix of colleges and universities, public and private. But what’s most extraordinary is that they work together.

From allowing students on one campus to take courses for credit on another … to sharing library resources … to partnering in research and degree programs, the 20 members of the Atlanta Regional Council of Higher Education are the new model for collaboration.

Joining their individual strengths creates opportunities that otherwise wouldn’t exist – for learning, for discovery and for economic prosperity.

Move-in is scheduled for November 2010, and use of the annex will begin by the start of 2011 spring semester in January 2011. The BHS Annex is being built in front of the existing Arts & Sciences Building and is part of the long- planned (and needed) renovation of the BHS Building.

“The ground for this academic space has long been broken,” noted Crafton. “Symbolically, we have an unbroken tra- dition of breaking ground for education dating back to Plato.”

The BHS Building, one of Clayton State’s original classroom buildings dating back to the University’s founding 40 years ago, is being renovated primarily during Spring Break and over the summer months to reduce the impact on students. The building will remain open and func- tional during this time, though portions may be blocked off due to construction. The cost of the renovation and the Annex is $4.5 million, says Vice President for Business and Operations Corlis Cummings.
