The extensive renovations include a wide array of upgrades designed to enhance both functionality and aesthetics, such as:
Modernized Learning Spaces: The project includes renovations to instructional and lab areas, specifically targeting advanced manufacturing and robotics. New classroom spaces for welding and areas designed for student collaboration will foster hands-on learning and teamwork.
Infrastructure Enhancements: Significant upgrades to lighting, windows, HVAC systems, and fire suppression systems will create a modern and safe environment. The project also includes the replacement of overhead doors and restroom adjustments, ensuring accessibility for all users.
Inviting Atmosphere: The lobby has been reimagined with a two-story ceiling, creating an inviting space for students. An upstairs concourse will serve as a vibrant gathering area, complete with new study pods—soundproof booths for individual work—and a dedicated space for Ivy+ Career Link, the college’s career development department.
Visibility Improvements: The incorporation of more interior windows will enhance visibility into the industrial and technical labs, promoting transparency and collaboration among students.
