WORKFORCE TRAINING
December 8, 2000 Update
WORKFORCE TRAINING CENTER SCHEDULE REVISION MEANS MONETARY SAVINGS.
The Bond Project Management Team has revised scheduling of the Workforce Training Center by replacing the two-phase approach: completion of the Conference Center (Phase I) prior to remodeling the Apprenticeship building (Phase II). The rationale for the change hinged on two elements: the phase approach proved too costly, and evidence strongly indicated that completion of the Conference Center by September '01 was impossible. The two-phase approach had the Conference Center beginning in January '01; Apprenticeship departments and activities moving into the Conference upon completion in September '01; and remodel of Apprenticeship commencing in November '01, with completion in June '02. In the revised schedule, general construction will begin in February '01 and reach completion in March '02. In so doing, a construction contractor can carry out activities in a more holistic efficient manner, thereby saving approximately $75, 000 in project funds. In the new schedule, two T&D buildings and the former Jewelry Lab will be vacated during March '01, with the Apprenticeship building vacating the end of June '01. Temporary locations for departmental functions and classrooms have been secured for future displaced occupants of T&D and the Apprenticeship building during Workforce Training Center construction. At the time of vacancy, ABSE and AHS will move permanently to the second floor of the current Math/Art building.
Questions and comments about any bond construction activity may be directed to 744-4154 or e-mailed to bond@lanecc.edu. All communication received will be regularly reviewed by the Bond Project Management Team (BPMT), the architects, and the Facilities Management Committee.
