Twice a month all the contractors, the architect, project managers, KCTCS reps and more meet on the BuildSmart projects. The progress is exciting! The Library should be available after next week; the Nursing student lounge is almost complete, new furniture arrives this Friday for the new biology/physics lab and nursing classroom. We chose the new carpet that will be installed in most offices in the A/S and ADM buildings over the holidays (see a sample in the ADM hallway by the displays) and the VCT (vinyl tile) that will be in hallways/classrooms in both buildings! New carpet will be installed in the Fine Arts Center beginning next week. The new ADM back facade is progressing nicely--and the front of the building looks fresh with the old bushes now removed.
