APSU breaks ground on CETF, receives $2 million from Hemlock to purchase lab equipment
July 11, 2009
Today, Austin Peay State University forged new territory when it broke ground for the new Chemical Engineering Technology Facility (CETF).
“Crossing over Eighth Street is kind of a first for us,” APSU President Tim Hall said during a groundbreaking ceremony at the site located across from the Sundquist Science Complex on Eighth and College streets.
With ceremonial shovels in hand, APSU officials were joined by representatives from Hemlock Semiconductor Group, a Michigan-based company “directly responsible for the new building today,” Hall said.
“This new progress is happening precisely because we’re forming partnerships,” he said.
