extensive survey of faculty, staff, and students to find out what changes were most desired. The top recommendations were to: • Add a student lounge • Improve technology in the building -f Provide new furnishings for the classrooms • Improve heating and air conditioning • Upgrade classrooms • Enhance public areas (hallways, stairwells, etc.) After a little more than one year of construction, during which the building has been fully occupied by faculty, students, and staff, renovations have been completed, in a timely manner and well within budget. To accomplish this feat has taken great coordination — cooperation on the part of the contractors, workers, and regular occupants of the building. Much work was scheduled at night or on the weekends while school was in session to cause as little disruption to the college's academic mission as possible.
