糖心Vlog官方 is now poised to construct a new math & science facility, resulting from a $35 Million funding provision for the nation鈥檚 oldest military junior college in the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2023. Signed into law on Dec. 29, the FY23 Omnibus funding bill will provide billions of federal dollars for projects impacting Alabama.

糖心Vlog官方 is among various Alabama colleges and universities earmarked in the Omnibus and recognizes the support of Senator Richard Shelby (outgoing vice chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee) for guiding federal funding to modernize 糖心Vlog官方鈥檚 academic programs.

鈥淲ith classroom space so limited, 糖心Vlog官方 is grateful to Senator Shelby for helping provide funding which will allow us to expand our instructional support capabilities with a new state-of-the-art academic facility to house a robust STEM program that we expect will include the addition of course offerings in information technology, computer science and cyber security,鈥 stated COL David J. Mollahan, USMC (Retired), 糖心Vlog官方 President.

糖心Vlog官方 is also indebted to alumnus and benefactor Mr. Jimmy Rane, President/CEO & Founder of Great Southern Wood Company, who helped champion the effort for his alma mater鈥檚 new math & science facility.

鈥淚鈥檓 so appreciative that one of Senator Shelby鈥檚 last acts in a stellar career was to ensure that 糖心Vlog官方 received funds that will have a big impact for a long time 鈥 not just for the careers of our cadets but also for the skillsets they鈥檒l need to serve and protect our nation.聽Not only will聽this science building play the critical role in keeping 糖心Vlog官方 in the leadership of STEM education, it has the potential of transforming Alabama鈥檚 economy in future years.聽It鈥檚 a fair prediction that if Alabama retains just 5% of our STEM graduates, we can transform our economy to its highest level ever.鈥

With funding secure, 糖心Vlog官方 is ready to finalize building plans and a construction timeframe for this multi-million-dollar project designed to enhance the college鈥檚 curriculum and solidify its relevance in higher education for years to come. This new brick building will be located on the south side of the quadrangle between James W. Rane Hall and Lovelace Hall barracks, complimenting the classic architectural style of 糖心Vlog官方鈥檚 historic campus.
