Mid-Summer Construction update!

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am back again with some Mid-Summer construction updates! While most of the interior has not changed much we have had some major changes to the exterior of the old SMC and interior areas of the new SMC.

Exterior wise there are now  giant holes cut into the side of the old SMC that faces Shenks Lane. Yes, that’s correct…GIANT HOLES. Glass windows are going to be housed in these holes and will give the SMC some nice natural lighting in areas that would otherwise be dim. In the front of the building, side facing George Street, road construction has begun along with construction for the new ATM area. The road construction is focused on widening George Street in front of the SMC and allowing for smoother traffic flow.

The interior hasn’t changed much in the old SMC. Workers are diligently hanging HVAC items and still doing some demolition. The big interior changes have occurred in the new SMC areas, such as the new fitness center, and new student organizational office buildings. Interior walls have been framed, exterior walls for the fitness center are almost done, and fire proof painting is moving along quickly! Pretty exciting to see how far it has come considering just 6 months ago it was  just a concrete pad.

That’s all the updates for now! Be sure to check out the updated pictures on our facebook page!
