“We’re planning our open house now,” said Connie Haire, vice president of the Macon Campus, as she helped workers arrange the new furniture. “We haven’t set the date yet but we expect to next week.”

The 27,600-square-foot campus will definitely be ready for students to register for fall semester on Aug. 16, said Haire, noting classes start the very next day.

Haire said she thinks students will be very impressed not only with the sheer beauty of the facility, but with the amenities as well.

The building is equipped for wireless Internet and houses a Cyber Café with sofas near the two-story stone fireplace.
