KSU purchase will increase campus

Kennesaw State University will spend $12.55 million to buy the former BrandsMart USA site on Busbee Drive east of the main campus. The Board of Regents University System of Georgia has approved the purchase that will allow KSU to use the 113,000 square-foot building for a student health center, laboratory space and the marching band program. The almost 17-acre property will link the continuing education center with the school’s sports and recreation park, creating 120 contiguous acres of KSU property on Busbee Drive.
