Groundbreaking project responding to nursing shortage at Carson-Newman University

New state-of-the-art laboratories, plus varied classroom and study spaces will fill a new 48,000-square-foot health sciences center at Carson-Newman University. The community broke ground on the new complex Friday morning at North College Street and Branner Avenue in Jefferson City. Lead donors for the $20 million project, Drama and Ted Russell, were guests of honor at the groundbreaking ceremony attended by East Tennessee dignitaries. The center is named for the couple.
