Global Learning Academy Pensacola, 8-11-2011

The almost completed Global Learning Academy of Pensacola is set for opening for the 2011-2012 school year.

Today, the school was opened up to the school board, the 1/2 cent watchdog committee, selected staff, and interested members of the public for a tour.

According to everyone involved with today's tour--this facility will be open and accepting students on the first day of the school year, Monday August 22nd 2011.

The facility is coming along, but several areas of the school are still under construction.

The facilities planning department again stated that this 127,000 SF facility will be completed on-time and for about $130 per SF--which is reasonable given the current economy.
