The state legislature recently ap
propriated planning money for a
100,000-square-foot convention and
conference center to be built on the
UNCA campus.
The multi-purpose facility will be
located on imiversity land at Broad
way and W.T. Weaver Boulevard and
will house the N.C. Retirement Cen
ter. A recent $500,000 appropriation
from the General Assembly initiated
the project. The final cost will
range from $11 to $15 million, ac
cording to Wally Bowen, UNCA dir
ector of public information.
UNCA officials said the center
will be similar to North Carolina
State University’s Jane S. McKimmon
Center for Extension and Continuing
Education. ;They estimate a 1991
completion date once construction
funds are appropriated.
The proposed center will add
greatly to the sense of a dynamic
campus, said Bowen.
As a public liberal arts university,
UNCA has a commitment to the life
long process of learning, said Bowen.
The Center for Retirement and its
Senior Scholars program component
will enhance the academic life at
UNCA, increasing the opportunities
for learning from very talented in
dividuals.
"We expect the center to attract
leaders of the academic and profes
sional world. We happen to live in a
beautiful region of the country and
to have this convention center will
provide a major boost to the tourism
