Hillsborough College Dale Mabry campus relocation

Summary

Dr. Atwater laid out how 27,000 students will be moved to three temporary sites while the campus is rebuilt for a 2030 goal — but he admitted he has no guarantee the state's remaining $100 million will arrive, and the college will cover roughly $17 million in rent itself.
