Administration
Building Rededication
Ceremony and Open
House Set for Sunday,
October 30
After more than 16 months of renovation work, the facility
currently known as the Administration Building on the ECC
campus in Union is open and ready to serve students as the
2011 fall semester gets underway.
To celebrate the completion of the project, the College is
planning an open house for Sunday, October 30 from 1:30 to
4 p.m. with a rededication ceremony at 1:30 p.m. Community
members are invited to attend that event and tour the facility which has been totally transformed to better serve students.
The building houses the library, learning center and six general classrooms. The project also created the college’s first onestop student services center, consolidating admissions, counseling, registration, financial aid and career services on one floor.
The initial demolition and abatement phase of the project was completed last summer. New energy efficient heating, cooling
and lighting equipment was installed. Many of the precast panels on the building were removed to accommodate new windows.
A new stair tower and entryways were created. Space was captured along the recessed window areas on the first floor and
aligned with the second story walls, increasing the size of the original facility to 61,166 square feet.
In addition to the building renovation, a new loop road to link the lower campus driveway to the road at the top of the hill was
built. Culvert pipes were installed at the bottom of the new road for storm water control and a 1/2 acre retention pond was built
near the campus entrance. The pond was deemed the best way to handle the water that will come off the newly constructed
road, as well as the 75 space parking lot built at the east end of the building.
“We’re excited to wrap up this project, and look forward to sharing this innovative facility with the students who will benefit
from its transformation as they start the fall semester,” noted ECC President Ed Jackson. “Students will have conveniently
located and easily accessible services, a wonderful library and learning center, new classrooms, and other learning spaces all
equipped with the latest technology,”
The Lawrence Group served as the project architects, and K & S Associates was the general contractor. Funding for the $9.8
million construction project came from proceeds remaining from the Prop RN bond issue approved by voters in 2006, as well
as existing fund balances. The Administration Building was the first facility constructed on the campus, with the first classes
held there in January of 1972.
“We hope community members, as well as former students and employees, will join us October 30,” Jackson stated. “I think
they’ll be amazed at the transformation.”
