Memo <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Date: <br />Re: <br /> <br />Board of Commissioners <br /> <br />Jonathan B. Marshall, Commerce Director <br /> <br />John Day, County Manager <br /> <br />12/08/03 <br /> <br />Remodeling of the former school administration offices <br /> <br />Rowan-Cabarrus Community College (RCCC) has experienced a large increase in students enrolled in their <br />building trade training courses. Many of the enrollees are former Pillowtex workers refraining for new careers. <br />The increase in enrollment has forced RCCC to look for additional space to hold these courses. <br /> <br />RCCC has looked to lease vacant space to meet their needs, but at the same time the County has been <br />studying the future use of the former school adminislmtion building for community college needs. Martin Boal <br />Anthony & Johnson (MBA J) have been studying a complete remodeling of the facility end in light of the <br />identified need we have asked them to concentrate on the portion of the building formerly used by the <br />maintenance division, <br /> <br />The proposal before the Board is to perform a fast track remodeling of a portion of the maintenance <br />building. The remodeling would include the workshop area, the warehouse, one cluster of bathrooms <br />and the creation of one classroom out of a group of offices. To expedite the process County <br />construction standards staff met on-site with the architect, engineers, City Fire and Life Safety staff, <br />contractor representatives, and RCCC staff to determine the scope of the remodeling. Bill Ashlin with <br />MBAJ is preparing a schematic of the proposed remodeling for your consideration. That schematic <br />along with basic cost estimates for the construction will be presented at your meeting on the December <br />1§th. <br /> <br />The building trade classes are scheduled to begin in mid-January and the goal for this construction <br />project, if approved, is for those classes to move into the remodeled space in mid February. As such, <br />this project is on an accelerated time schedule which is why it is being presented to you with this limited <br />detail. Please let me know, however, if you have any questions about this subject. <br /> <br />· Page 1 <br /> <br /> <br />
