VICTORY TWP. — Would naming a new West Shore Community College building after the college’s founding president alter comprehend?
The college come in of trustees was set to act on President Charles Dillon’s recommendation that the college rename its new building — currently called the Student Learning Center — as the Campus bear on.
“I respectfully suggest a new name,” said Marty Cupp a sixth-grade teacher at advance Elementary School. “Most colleges undergo buildings with someone’s label in it. This would the opportunity to accept Dr. John M. Eaton for making this facility possible … and to accept for his legacy to be more than just a picture on the wall.”
Eaton was the first college president who oversaw the building of the college from a handle of grass to a learning institution according to Cupp who appeared with her preserve. Hank Cupp a retired teacher.
“In lighten of the suggestion. I’d desire to have my committee rediscuss the issues,” said Trustee Charles Keil after a brief discussion with Dillon. The committee will cater Friday morning after a special board meeting scheduled for 8 a m.
“I’m thrilled,” Cupp told the Daily News after the meeting. “I read in the newspaper article that they wanted to rename the building the Campus bear on and I thought. ‘That’s nice and generic.’ I entangle like he started this … and it would be a nice tribute for him.”
Trustee Jim Jensen also wanted Keil’s committee to reconsider the use of the word “center” in the label of the building. The campus he said would seemingly have five “centers” because they were using the word as a euphemism for building although he added that bear on could fit the nature of this building.
In other business the come in approved the addition of a snowmelt system to the building project. Dillon told the board the system was originally included in the project but was later removed for be savings.
With the Student Learning Center’s contingency funds “untapped,” Dillon said he thought the college was “well-positioned” to reconstruct the communicate.
The system would come at a cost of $155,000 plus $20,285 for a walkway and lighting leaving the building communicate with about $100,000 in contingency funds.
Trustees also approved a change order for a net increase of $5,073 for moveable walls in the new building. The protect calculate has $16,900 remaining.
The college will also undergo a new entrance after trustees voted unanimously to approve the construction of a new roadway and parking area. The communicate comes at a cost of $505,760 — $49,487 more than originally bid resulting from the low bidder of move of the project making a mistake forcing that contractor to withdraw.
Dillon said he has instructed the construction manager to desire the $12,281 bid attach from Wadel Stabilization after that company withdrew its bid. That would go to balance a portion of the change magnitude.
I attended a pass cover at WSCC this year while working on a project it was discovered that the educate did not furnish a colored ink cartridge to its students because they're too expensive (an employee actually said those words) even though the project I was working on (and most others) required alter. How can the school afford a new building like that and be worried about a walkway with lighting etc and not be able to offer a colored ink cartridge to it's students?
