🏗️ Anchoring Our Future: Gulf/Franklin Campus Groundbreaking! ⚓

Big things are on the horizon in Port St. Joe! Today, we officially broke ground on the highly anticipated Multipurpose Classroom Building/Shelter at the Gulf Coast State College Gulf/Franklin Campus!

This new facility will add approximately 12,000 square feet of learning space to our growing campus. Beyond serving our students, this building is designed with community resilience in mind—it will also serve local residents as a Shelter of Last Response during times of need.

Construction is slated to begin within the next few weeks, with a completion date set for 2027.

With Deepest Gratitude
A project of this magnitude truly takes a village—or rather, a phenomenal crew:

To our local leaders: Thank you for your tireless advocacy, partnership, and vision in helping make this crucial facility a reality.

To our District Board of Trustees: Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to expanding opportunities and safety for our community.

To our incredible Gulf/Franklin faculty and staff: Thank you for your daily dedication to our students and for anchoring the success of this campus.

As we expand our footprint, we expand our ability to serve, educate, and protect our community. We can’t wait to watch this building rise!

Go Dores!
