The Science Teaching Laboratory Building Project
The current laboratory instructional space for our science programs
is seriously undersized and outmoded for the number of students
enrolled. Georgia State University stands to receive $37.5 million
in challenge funding from the State to build a new science teaching
lab facility, which will be named for Parker H. Petit, whose lead
gift is helping to leverage additional funding. This facility will
cost more than $70 million. The remaining dollars will be raised
in private funds and grants through the Georgia State University
Foundation.
