GGC Breaks Ground on Convocation Center

Georgia Gwinnett has begun construction on a 72,280-square-foot Convocation Center that will transform the campus. Part of a $48 million state-funded capital project, it also fulfills GGC’s need for an infrastructure upgrade including a central energy plant expansion.
