Members of the AFLC Schools Board of Trustees voted at their November meeting to initiate a public capital campaign for the construction of the new Student Life Center on the campus of the AFLC Schools in Plymouth, Minn. Materials will be mailed to alumni and friends of the schools, along with the AFLC at large requesting a mid-January response. The Student Life Center will contain a college-sized basketball court, two large classrooms, six offices, and ample gathering space for events and student activities. The estimated cost is approximately $8 million when completely finished, furnished, and equipped. Nearly $3 million has been raised in a private campaign focused on a handful of donors who had expressed interest in the building, plus donations from members of the Schools Corporation, faculty, staff, and administration. An additional $1.6 million in gifts and $1.1 million in 3-year commitments is needed before construction can begin. The goal is to break ground in late winter and occupancy sometime during the 2019-2020 school year.
