In our College Town neighborhood, Florida State University held a ribbon cutting for their new Herbert Wertheim Center for Business Excellence, Tuesday.<\/p>\n
It follows a $65 million investment by the center’s namesake Dr. Herbert Wertheim last month.<\/p>\n
Leaders at FSU expect a record 10,200 business students this spring semester.<\/p>\n
They will now be able to work and study in this 5-story building.<\/p>\n
President Richard McCullough says this center will help the school and the Capital City retain talent.<\/p>\n
“Everybody likes to have a nice office. Everybody likes to come into a wonderful, beautiful building and uh it just makes a difference and when you think about going someplace else, why would you when you can be in a building like this with such great colleagues.”<\/p>\n
President McCullough says the Herbert Wertheim Center for Business Excellence also created over 1,500 local jobs.<\/p>\n
