Through the Housing and Urban Development EDI Account, which will go to the Laurinburg Institute. Presently, five of the campus’ eleven original buildings are functional and habitable. This has contributed to a precipitous decline in the school's value, and continues to effect enrollment and revenue capacity. Consequently, the Laurinburg Institute does not have the financial capacity to commence the much-needed renovation to restore all eleven buildings. The Laurinburg Institute proposes to renovate the eleven all-brick structures of the Institute to its original condition. The renovation project will provide the opportunity to leverage the Institute’s strategic relationship with local, state, national, and global communities where the school has an unprecedented and historically successful record of graduating minority and disadvantaged students. Funding for this project will help local, state, and federal governments to successfully continue in providing higher education to minority and disadvantaged youth.
