Eagle Battalion to Build New $9.5 Million Military Science Bldg

Initial rendering of the new Military Science Building

Safely tucked inside the pages of Georgia’s $21 billion state budget is $9.5 Million to construct a new Georgia Southern University Military Science Building.

Georgia Governor Nathan Deal visited the Georgia Southern campus on April 28, 2014 to sign the budget bill at the foot of the Marvin Pittman Administration Building. The funding will addresses a great need for the Eagle Battalion ROTC Program.

“To be honest, we’re happy with anything we get but having a first-class facility like the one they plan to build for us really tells us a lot about what they think of ROTC,” said Professor of Military Science LTC Gary Morea. “It showcases us as a real first-class program and it’s a great accolade for all of the hard work the Cadets have put forward up to this point.”

The new building, encompassing 30,000 square feet, will replace a 10,000 square-foot temporary facility that the battalion has occupied for nearly a decade.
