Upcoming project: Greenhouse/Pond

We are ready to start our Greenhouse/pond project on the south side of the Cedar building. This project will run from May 27th to December 30th, 2025.  Our contractor, Forma, will begin with the installation of the construction fence on May 27th and 28th.  

The attached site logistic plan outlines the construction zone, access points for construction vehicles, delivery access for materials, and their construction laydown area.  The pathways leading to Cedar will be accessible while both Bracken and the Greenhouse/pond are under construction.

Please contact Kimberlee Clark if you have any questions.

Upcoming project: Boiler replacement for buildings 2000, 5000, and 9000

Project Update, 4/28/2025: There has been a change in the schedule for our boiler project. 

The contractor, ATS, will be bumping building 2000 to the top of the list, with 5000 and 9000 shifting down.  They will begin in building 2000 from 4/29 to 5/17, then 5000 from 5/5 to 5/28, and then building 9000 from 5/8 to 5/30.  We apologize for this last-minute change.


As previously mentioned, there will be intermittent noise and a minor odor when they are welding.  Please contact facilities if you have any questions or feel you will need a heater.We are about ready to start our Boiler replacement project.   This project will run from April 29th to June 30th, 2025.

The contractor, ATS, will be replacing the boilers in buildings 2000, 5000, and 9000.  They will begin with Building 5000 from 4/29 to 5/17, then building 9000 from 5/5 to 5/28, and then building 2000 from 5/8 to 5/30.

During these times, the heat will be shut down in each building, however there will still be air flow and AC (for those buildings that have AC).  As we enter our warmer season, we are hopeful that the lack of heat will have little to no impact on the building occupants.  If individuals in those buildings need heat, please contact facilities and we’ll bring you a portable heater to use while the boilers are being replaced.

Please keep in mind that this work will have intermittent noise and minor odor from the welding.  The contractor will do their best to minimize any impact to the college and conduct much of the noisy work from 6-8am.

Feel free to reach out to Kimberlee Clarke if you have any questions.
