EDUCATION FACILITIES

Education program settles into new facility

The spring semester brought about a change for Education students as they started to hold classes in their program’s new home at West Side.

Renovations to the space include new floors, fresh paint, colorful murals on the walls, new furniture and new technology, including smart boards on the walls—all made possible by college donors.

After years on the ground floor of Hawkes Hall, Education Chair Dr. Gretta Milam said the West Side location is perfect for the program.

“It’s great that they are learning in a space that actually was once a school, so they get the sense of what it will be like working in a real classroom.”

In addition, Education faculty have been working closely with the Troup County School System to coordinate efforts.

“They have been such a valuable resource for us,” she said. “We are teaming up to ensure our students are learning on equipment that is compatible with what is actually being used in local classrooms.” | More at lagrange.edu/news
