Columbus State University celebrated the completed lab sciences expansion and renovation of LeNoir Hall during a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday morning.

The new addition includes six state-of-the-art labs for teaching science, two student meeting areas, three student study areas, the renovation of several existing labs, and upgrades to science equipment. The new lab and additions will serve both undergraduate and graduate students.

Construction began in July 2017 and was funded by $13 million in state funds for construction and equipment and $2 million in private funds.

LeNoir Hall’s new addition opens for classes in January 2019. LeNoir Hall is named for William “Bill” LeNoir. He served as acting president of Columbus College, now Columbus State University, twice during his career as a professor of botany. LeNoir retired in 1995 as dean emeritus.
