Gwinnett Technical College officials and board members will host a ceremony Wednesday to dedicate the school’s new Life Sciences Center.

The event will start at 8:45 a.m. at the center -- Building 900 -- on the campus at 5150 Sugarloaf Parkway in Lawrenceville. Parking will be available adjacent to the center.

U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, Technical College Commissioner Ron Jackson and many others will be in attendance.

The three-story, 78,000-square-foot building, which opened for fall classes in August, will serve about 3,000 students a year.
