"I really wanted to attend an institution that was somewhat of a community -- something small -- and to connect with professors and with the administration and have them know my name. And, because of MCLA's internship program, I was able to get my foot in the door at a very prominent company which jump-started my career."

All of these pictures were taken on the lower level of the building. The red motors are for building circulation pumps and the blue items are state of the art tank-less hot water heaters.

Above the long hall are raceways for building network wiring, and the studded in area is the future home of the computer science department.

As reported new stairs are being installed on the south side of the building. The old stairs on the south side were removed to create room for the new elevator. The stairs and rails were installed during this month.

This group of pictures shows a small sampling of the wiring infrastructure being placed in the building. In addition to the raceways for network wiring, wires are pulled for new electrical circuits and overhead video projectors. The new wiring closets are also well done and neat.

What floor and what area was this "Graffiti" located?

Stairs to the attic on the North side.

This wainscoting will be redone on the north stair well.

These were the window counter weights.

The last of the lath will be covered over.

The lower level hallway is now the storage area for the new elevator and 4th floor lift. The large item leaning against the wall is the base for the new elevator.

These are the new offices for the Business/Economics Department.

This is the setup kitchen and storage area on the second floor.

Front office of the computer services department on the lower level.

New ductwork is encased to reduce noise and add some interest to the ceilings.
