The structure will consist of 2 buildings and a cafeteria. Each building will accommodate 12 students and 2 instructors in a college dormitory type setting. The projected grand opening is August , 2022.

The complex also features 6 single family residential homes and 12 two bedroom condominiums ideal for those looking to relocate, retire or have a vacation home..
