Columbus State University to Break Ground on $22.2 Million Pezold Center for Emergent Technology

Columbus State University will break ground early next year on the Jack and JoRhee Pezold Center for Emergent Technology, a 36,000-square-foot building that will house the Coca-Cola Space Science Center and an expanding Robotics Engineering program. The $22.2 million project, approved by the University System of Georgia's Board of Regents, is supported by landmark donations from Jack and JoRhee Pezold, including a $6 million investment. This initiative aims to reshape Georgia's tech education and workforce development.
