Making Solid Changes: Countdown to Conversions at MSC
By: Tony Grandlienard
--DAY 119--
Let's face it, it has been a long time since we last updated you on the progress of MSC's construction. But have no fear, updates are here.
Little by little, it seems that change surrounds MSC more and more each day. With the West building continuing to progress, the inside of the existing building gets new additions daily. The students and staff are excited to be a part of the new generation and future of MSC.
What's happening now?
There have been many updates since our last post, so here's a quick rundown of major completions:
-New carpet installed to many new rooms
-New open-windowed walls
-New cabinets and sinks in Nursing rooms
-Newly painted rooms with glass entrance frames surrounding door
-West building foundation/structure finished
-New flooring in Nursing room
-New sidewalks and divider curbs around West lot
As many people drive into MSC, they immediately notice the construction and how there are limited parking spaces available.
Good news. The brand-new West side parking lot is set to open around Oct. 28. Currently, construction crews are waiting to finish concrete work surrounding the parking lot so they can finish the final step - pouring asphalt. The addition of the new parking lot will relieve the cluster of cars that currently have to park along 13th Street, and for those of us who have to cram in the North lot.
Meanwhile, the foundation of the West building is nearly complete. The concrete walls are finished and crews are now working on the interior of the building. Electricians, plumbers, and construction workers fill the building daily to have it ready by its start date, in March.
What's next?
-General framework, plumbing, electric work, etc. to finish in the West building
-Installation of glass windows into finished rooms
-West parking lot will open by Oct. 28
-Construction Trades programs to move into their new room by Nov. 4
-Trees to be planted along walkways and parking lot by Nov. 4
-Start moving other programs into new rooms or temporary workplaces
