"New Site Visit" Event to Showcase 67,000 Square Foot Building

ORANGE BEACH, AL – Columbia Southern University (CSU), currently located on Canal Road in Orange Beach, Alabama, will have a new home by the end of 2008. Members of the media are invited to attend a new site visit on Tuesday, May 6th at 8:30 a.m. to join the CSU president and other university officials as they commemorate the progress of a new 67,000 square foot, three-story facility.

Construction began in December 2007 on a 20 acre plot of land purchased in Orange Beach, Alabama. The new building will feature a training room, fitness room, men and women's locker rooms, three break rooms, balconies, and more.

With a record enrollment of more than 12,000 students and at least 20,000 expected by 2010, CSU has outgrown its current facility. Last year, CSU surpassed more than 130 employees forcing in-house faculty and staff to occupy additional facilities in Gulf Shores and Foley. The new building will be large enough to house all CSU departments.
