If there’s any doubt as to Maury County’s commitment to education‚ one need only count the educational facilities that have sprung up during a flurry of construction.
Columbia State Community College has a new humanities building‚ a 35‚000-square-foot‚ $8.5 million project that should have an impact on the cultural and economic health of the region.
“Our vision is that the Waymon L. Hickman Humanities Education Building will become a center for cultural enrichment‚ economic and community development‚ and workforce training and development for the southern Middle Tennessee area‚” Columbia State Community College President Rebecca Hawkins says.
The building includes a 500-seat theater/auditorium‚ a 1‚500-square-foot art gallery‚ a computer training lab‚ an interactive distance education room‚ a TV/video production studio‚ music practice rooms‚ a listening library and more.
“Students have been watching the construction process through the last year‚ and we’re excited about the opportunities that the building will bring‚” Student Government Association President Turnley Smith says. “Students have been surprised at how large the building is and what it will offer those who are focusing on the liberal arts.”
Meanwhile‚ opening for the 2001-2002 school year is the Mount Pleasant Middle School of the Visual and Performing Arts. Part of the Maury County public school system‚ the school has an arts-based curriculum and will serve students in fifth through eighth grades.
The $11.5 million school will offer instruction in both instrumental and vocal music‚ dance‚ two- and three-dimensional art‚ computer graphics‚ diversified technology‚ family and consumer sciences‚ and health‚ along with the standard core curriculum.
“It will have the same basic subjects as any school‚ but will also give children in our community the opportunity to develop themselves in any fine arts area‚” says Superintendent for Middle Schools Mike Latimer.
The arts school will be the third school in the Mount Pleasant community. It will include the fifth grade formerly housed in the elementary school and sixth through eighth grades that have been at the high school.
While Mount Pleasant Middle School of the Visual and Performing Arts is for students within a designated attendance zone‚ parents outside the zone can apply for their children to attend‚ although they’ll have to furnish their own transportation. Currently‚ there’s room for 620 students‚ but the library‚ cafeteria‚ gym and offices were built to handle up to 800 students as additional classrooms are added‚ Latimer says.
Another new educational facility in Maury County is Vest Hall‚ which will make it possible for Columbia Academy to accept more students for the 2001-2002 school year. In fact‚ the private K-12 school could see a record enrollment for the sixth consecutive year. The new building – named in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Ruskin A. Vest‚ long-time supporters of the school – will be home to 440 students in kindergarten through sixth grades.
“We needed such a facility badly because of growth‚” President Bill Thrasher says. “We’ve been inundated with enrollment requests. We surveyed our parents‚ and they felt that this was the thing we should do.”
Built for just over $3.5 million‚ Vest Hall has classrooms‚ a library‚ computer room facilities‚ administrative offices‚ an art studio and an all-purpose room. The latter is a large gym area that will be used for assemblies and physical education activities.
Adding approximately 35‚000 square feet to Columbia Academy‚ Vest Hall is connected to Denim Hall‚ a facility built in the 1960s. Denim Hall has also been renovated to be a better aesthetic match with the new construction.
Columbia Academy is located on a 67-acre campus‚ which was previously home to Columbia Military Academy. The original buildings on campus date back to 1890.
“Vest Hall is the first major project we’ve done on campus‚” Thrasher says. “We built a preschool‚ but this is the first project of this size.”
