Update on Construction and
Renovations

You will notice the C Portables have not disappeared over
the summer. The Horticulture/Holding Building, which was to
absorb the C Classrooms, will unfortunately not be ready until
early October. Therefore, the classes and other activities will
commence in the C Portables in September, and everything will
move to the Horticulture Building on the soonest weekend
possible in October. Faculty teaching in the Portables will be
given due notice of this change of classroom location, so they
can notify their students.

Please note that as per the original plan, C-1 will stay in
place and operation until the completion of the new Classroom
Building in the fall of 1991.

The steel framing on the Sportsplex is progressing well,
after an approximately 3-4 week setback on the construction
schedule necessitating expansion of the foundation walls. It is
hoped some of this lost time can be made up over the coming
months, aiming at a March or April 1991 completion.

The Horticulture/Holding Building (opposite I Building)
was late starting, but is now progressing very well toward a
scheduled early October completion.

The completion of the renovation of I Building for Studio
Art has gone very well, and all indications are that it will be
substantially completed on schedule (ready for occupancy) by
August 24 for Studio Art to move in.

The A & B Building renovations contract is also going
very well, and likely will also be completed on time by August
24 for re-occupancies by the Library (in B), and by Graphic
Design & Illustration and by Clay & Textile Art in A Building
second and third floors.

The new Phase I Classroom C Building is about to go out
to tender, and construction will commence on the C portables
site just as soon as those buildings are vacated.

The next new Phase II Library Facility is now in the
process of being sited by the recently hired architect, Richard
Henriquez. A siting proposal will go to the Physical
Environment Committee (PEC) on August 21. Frieda Weibe,
Head Librarian, and I are working on the detail Functional Plan
for this facility which, from College decisions made in June,
will house the new Library and classrooms/labs. We should be
well into schematic design by September with a projected
completion date for early fall 1992 (maybe not in time for
September that year). — Alan Smith, Director of Planning
