It's almost time. Within the next few weeks, many staff departments will make their move to the West building.

Although there aren't many major updates, there are still a few I'd like to share with you.

West Building Updates: 
-Drywall and insulation installed
-Ceilings finished 
-Fire alarms installed
-New fluorescent lighting installed throughout
-New gravel and rock installed around exterior landscape

The Current
Over the next few weeks several departments in the current building will be moving into the next building. Here is a list of programs that will be moving:
 
-Administration
-BCTS (excluding Computer Support)
-Essential Skills
-IT
-Marketing
-Soft Skills
-Student Services

Besides the department moves, there have been minor changes to the current building. The first technology update includes computer support's new Sharp flat-screen TV. This TV aids the visual learning of students, as well as connects desktops to a larger screen. More TVs will accompany the campus upon the completion of construction. Other than that, no new visual updates as the renovations continue in former classrooms.

Hopefully, the next post we do will be posted from the new building, giving you more insights and updates than ever before.
