WORKFORCE TRAINING
April 22, 2002 Update
JUST HOW BIG IS THE WTC?
The Workforce Training Center is the largest bond project on the west side of campus with approximately 78,800 square feet. Consider this: if the entire facility was one level and laid out end-to-end, one and a half football fields could fit inside of the WTC and there still would be room to spare. The only larger project on the main campus is Building 16, which houses the Science and Math departments and contains approximately 86,600 square feet. Undertaken the beginning of 2001, the WTC is moving ever closer to substantial completion on or about June 17, '02. One indicator that the project is almost complete is the relocation of the passageway through the facility. In order to finish the remodel of several classrooms, storage rooms, and the College Now area, the passageway moved to a completed permanent hallway further south within the facility. Within the rest of the WTC, loose ends are being tied up in most areas except the prep kitchen, which will be completed by LCC Trades personnel this summer. Carpet will be completely laid on the first floor of the remodeled area this week, lighting installation is underway, and painting is all but complete in a majority of the facility.
ELEVATOR STRUCTURE AWAITS HEATING AND COOLING UNIT.
The mechanical room next to the elevator contains the machinery that propels the elevator up and down. The company that manufactures the elevator requires installation of a heating and cooling unit within the machine room in order that temperatures do not drop below 40 degrees nor exceed 90 degrees, thereby assuring proper functioning of the equipment. Installation of the heating and cooling devise did not occur earlier due to requirements of the elevator company that recently came to light; however, the unit is on order with installation and inspection anticipated by the end of April.
