TIME IS RIGHT TO MOVE THE ARCHIVES.
Approximately 3 years ago work associated with construction of the Child Care facilities and the Science addition required relocation of the Archives from the tunnels. At that time, temporary space for LCC's archival records was located in an off-campus facility on Franklin Boulevard, as well as in ELEX 101, where Elizabeth Uhlig's office was also located. Fortunately, circumstances occurring this summer will once again allow consolidation of the Archives on the main campus: completion of the WTC, the movement of departments and functions to the WTC, and the relocation of personnel and functions for the Center 4th Floor remodel. As the Center 4th Floor personnel and classrooms were assigned space for their relocation, classes held in the two temporary classrooms (019 & 020) in the basement were moved to other facilities on campus, thereby providing more suitable environments for classroom activities. In addition to the classrooms, the office space (018) vacated when Culinary & Hospitality personnel move to the WTC will round out the total area needed for archival storage. Fortunately, the new temporary home for Archives requires a minimum amount of remodeling. The project is tentatively scheduled to reach completion in mid-July; relocation of the Archives is anticipated towards the end of July. Reestablishment of a centrally consolidated area for the Archives provides two distinct benefits: an environment in which archival access and record keeping can take place more efficiently and the redirection of off-campus storage fees to other Bond 1995 Projects. While obviously a good move, the temporary relocation of the Archives to the Center basement is just that, a temporary solution. Since the Archives provide a valuable and necessary function for the college, ultimately, those functions must be accommodated in a permanent suitable location.
