Making Solid Changes: Countdown to Conversions at MSC

By: Tony Grandlienard
--DAY 379--

One year and counting.

Building B gets a splash of color with its new metal roof panels.

For over 365 days now Jokake Construction crews have been working on the expansion and reconstruction of our campus. June 20, 2012, officially marked the kickoff of construction from a year ago when MSC had a ground breaking ceremony on what is now Building B. 


Although we’ve been in Building B for a few months now, the biggest changes are yet to come as Building A gets set for move-in over the next month. 


So, are you ready? Excited? If not, I hope these pictures speak for themselves.

The Current - A.K.A. Building A
The clock is ticking on Building A.  As you can see above, it has come a long way since its days without walls and a roof. Most major updates (electric work, drywall, flooring, paint, plumbing, etc.) are near completion. The classrooms and faculty offices have most of their carpet, doors and windows completed and as of today, are being furnished with new desks and chairs.

The majority of the front section of Building A will be for staff, career services, cosmetology, and the aesthetictian program. 

Other Updates 
As for the rest of MSC's campus there's not much. However, if you're walking around campus, look up. You'll find that all the red and silver metal roof coverings have been completed, giving us that desperately-needed summer shade.
