Whitesburg $350,000
Work is now underway on a $5 million academic/technical building on the Whitesburg campus. This twofloor structure will house laboratories, technology classrooms, an auditorium, a community development/business development wing, and faculty offices. Named in honor of the late Belinda Mason, this building will help Southeast immensely in meeting the needs of the community and in addressing standards set by accrediting agencies for minimum space requirements. However, the cost of construction has exceeded architects' estimates, necessitating the use of some of the funds that had been allocated for furniture and equipment. Funds will also be used for a second project: the landscaping/paving of the area around the Allied Health Building. This space, which formerly housed a bus garage, needs (1) a brick facade to attach to the building, (2) parking spaces for approximately thirty vehicles; (3) the creation of outdoor spaces for students, and (4) landscaping. Cumberland $200,000 Since the opening of Falkenstine Hall in 1972, the floor space in the uncovered portico area has leaked, causing water to penetrate the ceiling of the first floor. It is believed that the only solution to this problem is to build a roof over the area and enclose it entirely. While state funds are available to enclose the uncovered portico of Falkenstine Hall, there are no funds available to turn the enclosed space into much needed offices for departments that are currently located off campus. Neither are funds available to furnish the space once it is completed. This project would create 3,600 square feet of additional space and help to consolidate all programs in Cumberland on the College campus.

Harlan $200,000
When coal was king and jobs were plentiful in eastern Kentucky, the Workforce Development Cabinet built a stateoftheart mock mine on what was then the campus of the Harlan Area Technical School - now the Harlan Campus of Southeast. The mock mine was allowed to deteriorate over the years and is now in a state of disrepair. Southeast wishes to rehabilitate the mine and use it both for entrylevel training for new miners and as a center for miner continuing education. While the level of mining activity continues to fluctuate, there will always be a need for a facility like this one. Not only will it allow the college to do training for its service area, but for miners from throughout the state and nation.

Pineville and Harlan $350,000
Libraries must be established, updated, and maintained on Southeast's Harlan and Pineville campuses. At present there are insufficient state funds to bring the library on each campus up to the standard required by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Funds in this category will allow the college to purchase books and materials to update both libraries and to maintain a level of excellence that is presently maintained on other campuses.

Middlesboro $1,000,000
Much of the training performed for the National Park Service east of the Mississippi River in the maintenance and operations area takes place on the Middlesboro Campus. The college has long needed a specialized facility to house this training program. By attaching a 7,500 square foot structure to the existing Applied Science and Technology Building, this goal can be accomplished. The completion of this project will allow the college to expand training in this area, not only for the National Park Service, but other agencies as well.
