When completed, the campus will have 500,000 sf of dorms and classroom buildings including a $20-million student center, a $10-million dormitory, a $14-million administration building and a $20-million classroom building to accommodate 650 students. The complex is slated for completion by the fall of 2005. Complications such as permits and a pipeline that ran through the center of the project have slowed construction.
The school will initially open with a group of 30 students, and buildings to accommodate that group will be ready by next March. In the meantime, the school will erect modular buildings. The college hopes to ultimately compete with schools like Cambridge's Massachusetts Institute of Technology and plans on fully subsidizing student's tuitions.
