A mere one half mile apart on Old Peachtree Road in Suwanee, Gwinnett County Public Schools and PCOM Georgia regularly collaborate to provide Gwinnett students with STEM opportunities.

The two entities became neighbors in 2004 when the Gwinnett County Board of Education approved the purchase and renovation of an existing manufacturing facility to house the school system’s instructional and support personnel. Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine renovated a former distribution facility just down the road and began offering classes in the fall of 2005.
