Now that Lawrenceville has approved the LPAC expansion, Geogria Gwinnett College hopes to partner with the Aurora Theatre and Arts Center on new space.

Georgia Gwinnett College, is among the many celebrating the approval of the new Lawrenceville Performing Arts Center. 

"I think the sky is the limit and we're going to do many great things," Jaclyn Faircloth said.

Faircloth is an Assistant Professor of Theater at GGC. She was one of the many LPAC supporters at Monday night's city council meeting.

Right now the college has a partnership with the Aurora Theatre. The Aurora Theatre host a GGC night for students, also GGC puts on its own productions there as well.

"We have three classroom scheduled in the expansion. But we can't do that without the Board of Regents," Laurel Holland, Interim Dean of Liberal Arts.

In order host classes at LPAC, GGC must get the approval of the Board of Regents.

"The opportunities we have will become much more abundant if the funding comes through," Holland said.

So abundant, that GGC Sophmore Robyn Rogers is thinking about slowing down her fast track to graduation.

"Maybe, I should slow down the amount of classes I am taking, so I can be here when the expansion comes. Because it's suppose to be here when I graduate," Rogers said.

As for Faircloth, she looks forward to the opportunities it will bring for her students inside and outside the class room. 

"My mind is just going with all the possibilities of what this could mean," Faircloth said.
