Student Services Center – This project is approximately 96,000 SF of new space that will house all student service functions, including additional student lounge and food service space.   Architects Perkins and Will have completed the design and construction documents, and the Capital Development Board has approved all plans.  Bids will be opened on January 12, 2012, with results presented for Board of Trustee approval at the January 2012 Board meeting.  Construction should begin in spring 2012.  The intent is to have the facility completed in fall of 2013 or spring of 2014.





Fitness Center – This project is an addition to the existing Dodds Athletic Center.  The completion of this project would give the College a new "state of the art" athletic facility with space for Kinesiology, dance and aerobics, strength training, an indoor walking track, new locker rooms and team rooms, and coach’s offices.  Included in this project would be the remodeling of the lower level of the gymnasium.  Remodeling of the locker rooms and team rooms is complete, and restrooms should be completed by January 15. The new addition site work is on schedule with the walls, floors, and structural steel work completed.   Work on the new north entryway is underway, as is roofing and initial installation of mechanical systems.  Completion of the project is scheduled for August of 2012.
