The Riverpoint Campus is increasingly known for its reputation of excellence in the health sciences, a reputation that will likely get stronger once the construction of the campus’s new nursing building is completed in the fall of next year.
The construction has reached its half-way point, said Bruce Thompson, director of capital development and planning. He emphasized that the construction has been within budget and on schedule.
Graham Construction is working hard to get the five-story structure enclosed before the start of winter. They have started working on the outside masonry and are hoping to get the roof in place by the end of October. In addition, they are currently in the process of installing electrical wiring, plumbing, and ductwork for the building.
If everything continues as planned, the building should be ready for furniture and classroom equipment to be installed by next fall, and for people and programs to occupy the building by the spring 2009 semester.
