CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. – The newly renovated Louisville Education Center, at the Campbellsville University Louisville campus, will have a ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday, Oct. 18 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the building at 2300 Greene Way

CU alumni and friends of the LEC are welcome to take part in the celebration of the grand re-opening. Refreshments and hors d’oeuvres will be served at 5 p.m. with a brief program at 5:30 p.m. Guests are welcome to take a tour, meet the staff and celebrate the expanding reach of CU.
“The new renovations to the Montgomery Library are the crowning jewel to the new instructional area of the Louisville Education Center. Not only is there moreshelving, but the technology provides greater interconnectivity with the main campus,” Keith Spears, vice president for regional and professional education at CU, said.
The new LEC offers a technologically advanced library. Jim Woolums, director of CU-Louisville, said, “The video conferencing technology is going to allow us to connect all across the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The university’s investment is this will allow more people to pursue their education.”
The new LEC offers two new classrooms, two student study areas, an expanded student lounge, improved faculty offices, a new Montgomery Library and a video conferencing room.
Spears said, “The design accomplished by facilities coordinator Josh McFarland allows for new learning configurations, more books and greater access to technology. It is a remarkable model for space efficiency and functionality.”
Contributions made by the Montgomery family made the renovations possible. “This is an excellent example of the impact that a gift can have on an institution and its students. We appreciate so much the contributions of Guy Montgomery and his family. This means that our Louisville students are gaining the same library access as students who are on the main campus in Campbellsville.”
Campbellsville University is a widely acclaimed Kentucky-based Christian university with over 3,000 students offering 63 undergraduate programs, 17 master’s degrees and five postgraduate areas. The website for complete information is campbellsville.edu.
