Grambling acquires facilities to create "West Campus" Grambling State University is preparing to unveil a new satellite campus next month that will enable the university to offer more programs, serve more students and have a larger impact on the region. The 157-acre property, which will now be called Grambling State University — West Campus, is 2 miles west of the main campus on Louisiana 150. It houses 47 buildings, 26 of which will be immediately usable for residential, administrative, academic and maintenance purposes. “We are all very, very excited, because this is one of the largest things that has happened in many years at Grambling,” said GSU President Frank Pogue. “This gives us an opportunity to educate more students and to enhance the presence of Grambling in our region and around the world.” Will Sutton, public relations director for GSU, said the property was left in good condition and already housed a variety of buildings that can be used on a university campus, including a gymnasium, housing, administrative facilities and even a greenhouse. www.thenewsstar.com/article/20120719/NEWS01/120719029/Grambling-acquires-facilities-create-West-Campus-?odyssey=tab

Grambling State now has 541 acres of land. Now let's put it to good use. We should invite Oprah,Bill Cosby,Morgan Freeman,and some others to come in and donate so they can get some naming rights to the new facilities......We can create a space just for Oprah.....I would like to see us invite Jay Z and Beyonce to get involved with us also......The progressive Grambling minds need to get together and make something real nice out of that new acquisition......I sure hope that Grambling don't just piece mill something together. GSU could be headed to more "greatness" only if we start to manage it right.
