Making Solid Changes: Countdown to Conversions at MSC

By: Tony Grandlienard

--DAY 323--

"The road to success is always under construction." - Lily Tomlin.

A look at east and west sides of the new building.

Tomlin shares the same goals as MSC, as we continue to work toward success and development. Over the past month there have not been too many visible construction changes to either building, but MSC still has its fair share of updates on our road to success.

The Current

Remember when you were in class and had to go to the bathroom really bad? Remember dreading that long walk/sprint to the other side of campus because there is only one bathroom in each building? 

Well, that pain is over. MSC has opened its newest restroom in the middle of Building A, next to Meat Cutting. We will no longer have to feel like a racehorse, Seabiscuiting our way down the hallways. We figured this should make life a little nicer, and I'm sure your bladder will appreciate the good news also. 

New bathrooms

In addition to our glorified new restroom, there have been other updates as well. Our giant vacant opening on the north side of the building is beginning to close. Brick by brick, half of the front entrance of Building A progresses. Inside, Jokake Construction is still in the process of installing metal framing, drywall, electric work, ventilation, and insulation. Heading to the south side of Building A, two programs have moved - Cosmetology/Aesthetican and Auto Body.

Building B(eautiful)

The only update in Building B is the installation of shading. The steel framing that surrounds the building allows the sun to shine right through. Jokake Construction crews are now installing metal panels underneath to barricade sunshine. Since summer is knocking on the door, staying cool is crucial, and these panels will provide plenty of shade.

Before and after the shading panels
