Building “L” on schedule; new Foundation office on Prescott Campus completed; Building 32 being renovated to expand space for administrators; CTEC roof being repaired
At least four projects involving renovation, new construction, and major upkeep are under way in the Community College District. The largest of these, renovation of Building “L” on the Verde Campus, appears on schedule to open in the fall 2020. The College reports that it is enclosing “the first-floor entrance by installing structural steel and new flooring to support the simulator lab space. Concrete polishing is nearing completion in the Science Labs along with the installation of fire sprinklers and HVAC ductwork and piping. Framing is also underway for the new student break out study spaces. On the second floor, framing is underway to enclose the hallway and prepare for the new roof.”
The decision to move the Yavapai Community College Foundation from Building 32 to Building 19 (the library), on the Prescott Campus is complete. Renovation was completed with move-in occurring November 25. The College reported that close to 85% of this job was completed in-house with the Facilities team, which resulted in cost savings.
The College also reports that work in Building 32 on the Prescott Campus is being handled “almost entirely” with the Facilities and ITS teams. Construction began in November and will wrap up March 3. This building will house expanded administrative offices for the President and her staff.
