"What really drew me to the College was the fact that I knew I would get a lot of ‘real world’ experience. My hands-on experience was invaluable. MCLA supports its students, doing what it takes to get them into new experiences that will later prove to be stepping stones into a career."

The office areas on the third floor of Murdock hall are beginning to take shape. Although the pictures make this look like a disorganized skeleton the office areas are quite large and six offices have the curved windows.

These three pictures show the third floor’s south west corner. The floor area marked out will be a conference room with a window looking south. The pipes will be used for the buildings sprinkler system. Lastly Vice President Steve Green and Project Manager Ron Salice are standing in what was Steve’s faculty office in the Sociology Department. Steve jokes that what was is old office space will now a the Ladies Room on the third floor.

The load bearing walls on the second floor are shown here to be about three feet thick. This opening was used as an walkway during the demolition but it will be filled in as the interior walls go up.

I know everyone has been wondering how cement finds its way into the building. This rig has a large pump. When this picture was taken the concert was being pumped into the basement via the roof.
