WORKFORCE TRAINING
March 26, 2001 Update
CONSTRUCTION PROCEEDS WITH PERMIT FOR WORKFORCE TRAINING CENTER.
As with the Student Services Building, Chambers Construction is off to a good start with the Conference Center portion of the Workforce Training Center. In general, foundational work continues. Specifically, concrete has been poured around rebar within forms for the footings. Moreover, if you look at the south bank, you can see metal sheets positioned against the dirt wall. This metal is part of the temporary shoring that is being installed on a portion of the bank. The shoring will protect electrical and water lines that lie within the bank from being disrupted by construction activities. Once the foundation of the Conference Center is poured and walls established on the south side, the shoring will be removed and the area between the south bank and building will be back filled.
PORTIONS OF T&D TEMPORARILY CHANGE QUARTERS.
With so much attention given to completion of some projects and start-up of others, a significant move for portions of the Training & Development (T&D) Department could take place unbeknownst to many on LCC's main campus. T&D moves taking place this week are a consequence of preparation for Workforce Training Center (WFTC) construction activities at the site of the three most Northern T&D modulars. As part of the WFTC, Training & Development will be located in a portion of the new facility that will extend from the south side of Building 19 into the area where the soon to be demolished modulars are located. The modulars I'm talkin' about are those beauties that lie between the Pizza Hut and Building 19 (Apprenticeship). The modulars were purchased as surplus army property from Canada in 1966. Over the years, the modulars have been positioned at various locations on campus and have housed, at one time or another, LCC's Art Department, Cafeteria, Plumbers and Carpenter's Shop, and the Facilities Management Office. Despite the longstanding association, the first part of April, the three modulars will be demolished as primary work for the future site of the new T&D facility commences. Faculty, staff, and activities carried out in the three modulars are being temporarily housed in #13 facilities (ELEX Annexes), and Building 15 (Electronics); however, some activities and staff will relocate within T&D's remaining three Annex structures as well. Once construction of the WFTC is completed in March of 2002, T&D personnel will move into their new quarters.
