Capitol Education Center Named in Honor of First Lady Jane Beshear

Statement

Governor Steve Beshear today announced that the Capitol Education Center will be named after First Lady Jane Beshear, in honor of her vision and dedication to creating the Capitol Campus' energy efficient visitor and learning center.

The Jane K. Beshear Capitol Education Center, as it will now be known, opened in Feb. 2013 and serves as an education and welcoming facility for the more than 60,000 students, teachers and other guests that visit the Capitol Campus each year.

"The Capitol Education Center would not exist today without the foresight and drive of Jane Beshear," said Gov. Beshear. "Under her leadership, this former heating and cooling facility has been transformed into a modern space that promotes Kentucky government, geography, energy conservation and more. I could not be more proud of Jane and her work for this state; this center truly represents her commitment to education and the people of Kentucky."
