Smoot Construction of Columbus has been selected to build Central State University’s new $28 million student center.
The 90,000 square-foot facility, being constructed on the school’s main campus in Wilberforce, will house a 600-seat dining area, ballroom and several stores and offices for a number of departments.
“As one of the region’s largest certified minority owned businesses (MBE), one of the project’s priorities will be to ensure equal opportunity for other local MBEs and women owned business enterprises,” said Cynthia Jackson-Hammond, president of Central State, in a release.
The facility, which will break ground this fall, will open as the University Student Center in fall 2015.
