Annual Report | 2011-12 | South Florida State College

FACILITIES PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION
All SFSC facilities continue
to be well maintained,
ensuring access, safety, and
comfort. Continued expansion of and
modifications to existing academic
programs and support services create
the ongoing need for new, improved,
and refreshed facilities. Increased use
and aging of existing facilities adds to
the need for renovations.
The academic year 2011-12 was
an active time for facilities planning,
construction, renovation, and
remodeling.
Fire Fighting/Fire Science
Technology Program
Funds have been allocated to
remodel space in a building currently
used for bulk storage into vocational
laboratory space, a related classroom,
and support services for the proposed
Fire Fighting and Fire Science
Technology programs. This is coupled
with construction of program-required
pre-engineered burn and maze
structures and related site work. All
work is scheduled for completion by
Fall Term 2014.
Re-roofing Projects
Re-roofing projects on buildings
on the Highlands Campus and the
Hotel Jacaranda were completed.
COSMETOLOGY – Building K
The Cosmetology classroom/
laboratory received a facelift.
Wallpaper was removed, walls were
painted, and carpet was replaced.
Citrus Center
Room 121 in the Citrus Center
was renovated to create an additional
laboratory area.
Building N
Air conditioning was installed
on both sides of Building N. The
Electronics Department lab,
classroom, office, and storage areas
were substantially renovated with
new drop ceilings, lighting, carpeting,
insulated drywall, and updates to
cabinetry and equipment.
Highlands County Multi-Use
PATH
In January 2011, Highlands County
began construction of a multi-use path
along Memorial Drive, both south and
north of College Drive. Construction
of the path along the entire length
of College Drive adjacent to the
Highlands Campus began in May. This
path will provide a safer option for
students and employees to access the
campus by foot or bicycle.
