In an effort to preserve and protect the coast from future storms, Nicholls is set to open its Coastal Center, with groundbreaking slated for early 2023. The $21 million project will be located on the Nicholls campus at the corner of Colonel Drive and Ardoyne Drive, across from Calecas Hall. The collaborative space will allow for scientists from all over the state and beyond, including those from CPRA, the Water Institute of the Gulf and Nicholls biological sciences and geomatics departments, to collaborate and advance research to repair and rebuild the state’s receding coastline.
