Construction Update

5000 Career and Counseling Center
The college had planned to create a new space for students to receive career and counseling services. Please refer to this March DAAG article for details. After three months of pre-design work, we received the estimate from the architect, which resulted in the decision to re-think the project.

This means the services offered in the Workforce area will remain in their existing location on the first floor of the FOSS building.

4000 Building Update
The bids have been received and the contractor should be on site sometime in the next few weeks. The work in the 4000 building is moving forward as planned.
