TALLAHASSEE, FL. (WTXL) - Florida A & M University is using its recent performance funding to convert an old housing complex into a "Living-Learning Community" for new students.
The goal of a Living-Learning Community is to put students with similar academic interests in the same living area. The community, called the "Palmetto North Project", would have 440 beds.
University officials say, not only will they be revitalizing the old housing complex, but also continue improvements in that part of town. Next for FAMU is to get the plan approved by the Board of Trustees and the Board of Governors.
The project is expected to cost between $30 million and $35 million.
