Pensacola State College’s newest addition is now ready for students, after Friday’s ribbon-cutting at its Ninth Avenue campus.
The $15 million Baars Technology Building is a state-of-the-art, two-story facility containing almost 24,000 sq. ft.
“We’ll accommodate our growing cybersecurity program, our math lab which will be on the left side [of the building],” said PSC President Ed Meadows. “And other faculty and classrooms for mathematics and computer science.”
Meadows said the price tag was not 15 million originally, but the project ran so long that the cost increased over time. The project, he adds, did get help from the Escambia and Santa Rosa County Commissions, along with then-Pensacola mayor Ashton Hayward.
