Bond Update - September 24-27, 1999
GRAND OPENING FOR MCKENZIE CENTER.
The Lane Community College Learning Center at McKenzie High School held its grand opening on September 27 in conjunction with the high school's open house and celebration of its new gym. The address is 51187 Blue River Drive, Finn Rock.
WELDING CONCRETE POUR A HI-TECH OPERATION.
Contractors poured the floor slab of the new Welding Technology Building on September 24, beginning at 3 a.m. and ending later that morning. High-tech equipment made it possible to pour the entire 18,900-square-foot floor in one seamless operation. A laser screed was used to level the concrete. It had a telescoping arm with a roller and blade which smoothed 12-foot swaths of concrete to perfect height and levelness based on laser signals received from devices set up at site perimeters. Worth about $300,000, laser screeds have been used in Oregon for about eight years. Two riding troweling machines also were used to polish partially-set concrete. These one-man machines allowed operators to whirl around the floor operating levers which spun brush wheels over the concrete. The completed welding floor has four-inch and six-inch slab sections depending on projected use. About 360 cubic yards of concrete were poured. Crews raise the steel roof structure into place on September 27.
LTD returned to its traditional location by Apprenticeship for fall term.
LTD will remain at its present location on the north side of the Apprenticeship Building until construction of the new Student Services Building begins, currently projected for February 2000. During construction of the Student Services and adjacent Workforce Training Center buildings, buses will stop near the main entrance fountain. Current thinking is that after construction, about August 2001, the buses will return to the old, or present, location. LTD says its new buses have significantly improved emissions. LTD reports average boardings last year of 1,200 riders a day to main campus.
CAMPUS SERVICES SITE WORK UNDERWAY.
Contractors began hauling away dirt on Friday from the Campus Services Addition site on the east end of the existing building. Earlier in the week, Lane facilities staff moved two kilns and a small foundry from the area to a Mechanical Technologies' concrete cell for temporary storage. If county building officials approve, the kilns will be relocated to an area between Air Technology and Machine Technology prior to art student use later this fall. The new location will use the portable roof from the old site and will be surrounded by a chain link fence with slats.
CHILD CARE FOUNDATION WORK CONTINUES.
Work on the Child Care complex on main campus west side continued last week with concrete footings and rough mechanical and electrical work for the north and east buildings. This week's work will include the south building.
