TUPELO, Miss. (AP) — Itawamba Community College plans to spend $14.5 million over five years on upgrades to its campus Tupelo.
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports (http://bit.ly/1LSafB0) that school president Mike Eaton announced the project Monday at a faculty meeting.
Eaton says plans for Tupelo include construction of a new 62,000-square-foot academic building on the site where the current administration building, physical plant and welding and HVAC shops currently sit. Those four buildings each would be demolished.
The technical education building also will be renovated to house natural science classes and a new physical plant will be constructed.
About half of the project will be financed by funds the school has construction work. The school has about $7 million available from past state bonds that can be used.
