Agnes Scott College received $6 million from the Woodruff Foundation to help renovate the Decatur school's historic Campbell Hall.

The college plans to convert the science building into a living and learning facility. Two floors will be used for instruction and the other two will have suite-style rooms for up to 96 students.

The renovation will cost $12 million and officials said they've raised $8.9 million. They expect to raise all the money this fiscal year and construction could begin next spring or summer.
