Automotive Showroom Floor Project

The automotive showroom in 2100 will be getting a makeover.  This room will be converted into the new Mechatronics lab. The makeover will consist of a change in the flooring and updating signage.  The flooring changes will consist of removing tile and sealing the concrete floor.

This process will start on Wednesday, 6/25 and be completed by Friday, 6/27.  During this time there will be noise in that area and an odor due to the sealant used for the floor. 

Below is the SDS for the sealant material used.

Please reach out to Facilities if you have any questions. 

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.

Upcoming Roof Repairs

Hello Campus Community,

We are set to start the roof project for the campus next week.  This project consists of repairs to building 1000, 2900, 3000, 4000 and 1600.  The schedule is as follows.

  • 2/10/25 – 2/17/25
    • 1000 Building Cupolas – Contractor will be removing and replacing cupolas on roof.  There will be minimal noise and vibration.  No impact to the art in the art gallery.  There is a chance of a slight chemical smell when they install the new Cupolas.  SDS is attached. 
  • 2/18/25 – 2/28/25
    • 2900 roof gravel replacement and perimeter work – Contractor will remove roof gravel, repair roof, and replace gravel.  There will be a slight vibration over walkways with little to no impact within the building.  There will be slight noise and chemical smell.  Parking on the east side of building (close to wall) will be taken offline while gravel is removed.  SDS is attached.    
  • 3/3/25 – 3/14/25
    • 3000 soffit stain work – Contractor will be using a lift and scaffold to apply a stain to the soffit around the building.  They will start on the east side of 3000.  No vehicles can be parked in the parking stalls on the east side of 3000 when they start to apply the stain.  It will take them 1-2 days to complete the work on the NE side of 3000.  SDS is attached.
  • 3/17/25 – 3/28/25
    • 4000 skylight replacement – Contractor will remove existing skylight and replace with new.  There will be noise and chemical smells during this project.  To minimize the impact of dust/sawdust falling within the library, a section inside the 2nd floor will be closed off during the project.  SDS is attached. 
  • 3/31/25 – 4/4/25
    • 1600 PMMA and drain replacement – Contractor will be replacing the roof drainage system.  This will require interior and exterior work.  There will be slight noise and chemical smell.  SDS is attached. 

The contractor will do their best to minimize noise during this roof project.  Facilities will do our best to minimize any impact to the buildings while chemicals are being used.  This schedule could change slightly since much of this work is weather dependent.  We’ll be working with building occupants if any changes occur.  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. 

Thank you for your patience while we complete this project.
