Progress Report on Water Damage Repairs

Tuesday evening, Director of Maintenance and Operations, Steve Garcia reported to the Board of Trustees that water damage clean up and repairs to the campus were about 75% complete. He estimated the final cost to be in the neighborhood of $300,000 with completion in several weeks.

He further reported that electrical and air conditioning systems had been repaired and power restored to all campus buildings. Clean up of several building, including the Science Building, was ahead of schedule. The sports fields will be ready for play in time for fall competition.

Garcia expressed great admiration for the work done by the maintenance and operations, custodial, and grounds staffs to make repairs and prepare the campus for the fall semester.

Thank You for a Job Well Done

I would like to take this opportunity to once more thank all employees for their extraordinary efforts throughout the complications and crisis caused by water damage (details and photographs to follow). Serving students has remained the priority, even though employees suffered in the absence of air conditioning and electrical power. Many staff members conducted their duties and responsibilities while they were temporarily relocated to “high and dry” locations.

The Maintenance & Operations and Grounds staffs are to be commended for their tremendous work of returning our campus to its excellent condition to welcome students on August 30.

Thank you to each and every staff member for their extra efforts and positive attitudes as we prepare for the fall semester.
