At the close <strong>of</strong> FY11, we had raised $8.8 million<strong>to</strong>ward our goal <strong>of</strong> $15 million in private funding for the VMLC. Ourhospital administration, faculty and staff are working closely with thedesign firm hired by the <strong>University</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Regents, Perkins & Will,<strong>to</strong> complete the architectural drawings for this project.The $80 million project will provide a facility with 211,000net square feet. The Board <strong>of</strong> Regents included the project in itsrecommended FY13 budget for capital construction. We are hopefulthat Governor Deal will present this construction plan <strong>to</strong> the <strong>Georgia</strong>General Assembly during its 2012 session.
