Thanks to the Tallahassee DemocratGo to https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2021/01/12/famus-new-cass-building-ready-centerpiece-student-services/6622565002/ for this in depth article about the new Center for Access & Student Success, our project with JRA Architects.

FAMU’s Vice President for Student Affairs William E. Hudson Jr. is eager to lead a tour of the building. He said the new work environment has helped boost morale. “They are excited. They love it,” Hudson said of employees. “They appreciate an opportunity to be in a new space, with new technology, but also to be in an area (where) they are connected to other student services.”
