Services geared toward the military at Austin Peay State University are about to become even more convenient.
That's because the APSU Board of Trustees on Friday unanimously voted to convert one of their properties on College Street into a new military family resource center.
The new center will be located in the former Jenkins & Wynne car dealership building.
It will be repurposed to house several of the school's academic and support programs for the military in one location, including the Military Student Center, Veterans Upward Bound, and the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs' VetSuccess on Campus office. The new center will also house other military-focused satellite offices for Career Services, Admissions, the Registrar, and Student Financial Aid.
School officials say the center is being developed to provide better support to students affiliated with the military.
The timeline for the center's completion is still being determined. The school says their next step is to select a designer.
