In our College Town neighborhood, Florida State University held a ribbon-cutting for their new Herbert Wertheim Center for Business Excellence, Tuesday.
It follows a $65 million investment by the center's namesake, Dr. Herbert Wertheim, last month.
Leaders at FSU expect a record 10,200 business students this spring semester.
They will now be able to work and study in this 5-story building.
President Richard McCullough says this center will help the school and the Capital City retain talent.
"Everybody likes to have a nice office. Everybody likes to come into a wonderful, beautiful building, and uh, it just makes a difference, and when you think about going someplace else, why would you when you can be in a building like this with such great colleagues."
President McCullough says the Herbert Wertheim Center for Business Excellence also created over 1,500 local jobs.
