SECTION 20 – BACKGROUND AND PRESENT SYSTEM SUMMARY
20.1 Background and Current Business Need
Kentucky State University is a public, comprehensive, historically black land-grant University serving approximately 2,300 full-time and part-time students from around the world. The University is located at 400 East Main Street Frankfort, Kentucky. The University's 914-acre campus includes a 311-acre agricultural research farm and a 306-acre environmental education center.
Dr. Koffi C. Akakpo currently services as acting president of Kentucky State University. The University's vision is Foster Innovation and Inspire Leaders to Advance the Commonwealth and the World.
Kentucky State University requests to improve/upgrade Audio/Visual (A/V) services in areas that provide student programming (in-person or remote) particularly in larger spaces. These areas have been identified in William Exum Center (entire arena side), David H. Bradford Hall (Carl H. Smith Auditorium, little theater and lobby), Carl M. Hill Student Center Ballroom, and Julian M. Carroll Academic Services Building Auditorium. Currently, audio/visual services in these areas do not allow Kentucky State University to provide optimal programming for students.
