Alumnus Dexter Henderson donated the money to redevelop a vacant property into "The Jaguar Colosseum." The property is located at 6800 Scenic Highway near Southern University's campus. "The Jaguar Colosseum represents more than the redevelopment of a building—it represents an investment in the future of North Baton Rouge," Henderson said. The Jaguar Colosseum transforms blight into opportunity while creating new housing options that support Southern University and strengthen North Baton Rouge," Kenny said in a press release.
