Bond construction begins at the Rock Creek Campus
Story by Gina Whitehill-Baziuk
During the next few days the beginning phases of the long-anticipated Building 7 remodel will start at the Rock Creek Campus. Safety fences, gravel pathways and聽tree聽removal聽will be among the first steps in this process.
Nine聽trees聽have been identified for聽removal. Rock Creek鈥檚 General contractor is in contact with members of the Art Department and with Building Construction Technology Program to see that all reasonable efforts are made to salvage and recycle all usable lumber. New聽trees聽will be planted around Building 7 as soon as the weather and construction traffic allows.
Tree聽removal聽can be difficult, but of the nine聽trees聽that are to be聽cut down, one is diseased and the others are so close to the building that聽removing聽them for construction expansion is the only option.
