Campus Construction Site Visits and Information
With ongoing construction activity throughout the Main Campus, the college is aware of the curiosity and excitement from staff, students and visitors to campus.
Accordingly, in order to manage construction activities and maintain safety, Gilbane Building Company and the college jointly request that all non-construction personnel remain outside the construction fences and barricades at all times and follow posted signage. With that in mind, the college will also provide opportunities to take scheduled tours of some of the construction sites to those interested. Most importantly, all group tours should be cleared through one of the following JJC employees: Rick Lyman (ext. 2212), JJC manager of construction and facility planning; Pat Van Duyne (ext. 6696), director of facility services, or Ed Vasil (ext. 2384), environmental, health and safety manager, while allowing for maximum notice.
