Rep. Ashford Announces State Support for Owens Community
College Renovation Project
Says funds will help modernize school’s College Hall
Special to The Truth
State Rep. Michael Ashford (D-Toledo) this month announced
the release of $217,040 in state funds to Collaborative Inc.
of Toledo to complete the facility and design master plans
for the College Hall Renovation project at Owens State
Community College (OSCC). The state funding was approved
this week by the state Controlling Board, a panel tasked
with oversight of state spending.
“The innovative ideas and visions of Collaborative, Inc.
have helped to provide safe, efficient learning environments
for students and employees at many of Ohio’s higher
education institutions,” said Ashford. “The renovation of
College Hall will help Owens Community College provide
modern facilities that allow students to learn the skills
they need to be successful.”
Built in 1971, College Hall houses a wide variety of
resources for the student community, such as the college
bookstore, OSCC dining area, admissions offices, financial
aid, advising offices and a few academic classrooms. The
release of funds will help to cover fees needed for
Collaborative Inc. to establish the master plan for the
facility and redesign of College Hall for phase one of this
ongoing project.
