Making Solid Changes: Countdown to Conversions at MSC
By: Tony Grandlienard
--DAY 202--
It's a new year with new opportunities. As we welcome in 2012, the year the West building opens, we await the official completion of MSC's anticipated campus expansion. With it being a new year, we also decided to change to a sleeker and cleaner look for our blog, which you've probably noticed. The new theme reflects the current changes going on around campus. The idea: as MSC improves its look, so does its blog. Enjoy.

| Colors give life to new hallway in West building |
Over the break, the West building received a face-lift. While we were enjoying the holidays, Jokake construction crews continued to work toward MSC's move-in date in March. They have come a long way since then. The pictures above and below tell the story.
West building updates:
-All walls installed
-Ventilation completed
-New ligthing
-New paint
-New overhang outside the building
-New walkways/sidewalks prepare to be paved
-Electric and IT work still resuming

While the West building has had many updates, the majority of construction over the past two months has been in the current building. Since the buildings are being constructed at different paces, we will now separate the blog into two portions. One for West building updates, the other for current building updates. This way you can differentiate the changes occurring on MSC's campus.

| Former computer classroom awaits future construction |
Since early December, construction crews have demolished many old classrooms. Most notably, the former Computer Support Specialist, Welding, and Auto Body classrooms. Jackhammers and loud banging noises constantly fill the hallways, but we have to remind ourselves that the finished product will be well worth it. So thank you for your patience!
Current building updates:
-Heavy construction has begun on Computer Support Specialist, Welding, and Auto Body classrooms
-New student/faculty conference classroom complete
-Completion of new offices for Program Managers
-Completion of new Nursing classrooms and facilities (Nursing program students now in their new classrooms)
-Auto Body and Welding programs move to temporary class locations near South parking lot

Coming Soon
Our next blog will feature the progression of construction in both the West and current building. We will let you know what programs have moved, and who's next to switch to a temporary location. Again, the West building should be move-in ready by March.
