In Detail: Pensacola State College Lease At Old Carver/Century School

August 17, 2011

Pensacola State College is leasing a portion of the former Carver/Century K-8 School in Century, with plans to offer workforce education and college courses.

PSC is leasing the middle school portion of the former school on Hecker Road — about 26,000 square feet on 10 acres – from the Escambia County School District. The middle school buildings were constructed in 2003 and have been empty since the school closed in 2009.

Pensacola State’s rent will be $60,000 per year, payable at $5,000 month. The three year lease can be extended up to three additional years under the current contract. Beginning in 2014, the rent increases each year, up to $5,566.17 per month in 2016.

“We believe this lease and Pensacola State provide a good opportunity for the north end,” Escambia School Superintendent Malcolm Thomas said. “It is great to see the building involved in education again.”
