Design team, architects and construction companies all selected; secret meetings regarding Building L held in January with locally selected Verde Valley politicians and others
As noted in earlier blog notes, Building L on the Verde Campus has been renovated, remodeled, and otherwise revamped for a variety of purposes since 2004. It is the Rodney Dangerfield of College buildings. Here we go again.
The Yavapai Community College Facilities Management department announced at the February 2019 Board meeting that programming is underway regarding Building L on the Verde Campus. Faculty and staff review meetings were scheduled throughout January 2019, according to the College.
It also announced that it had selected a Design Team (SPS+ Architects Construction Team) and a construction team ( Kinney Construction Services).
During January the College held secret meetings with a hand-picked number of politicians and others in the Verde Valley where the future of Building L was discussed. Because there is no record available of that meeting and the press was not allowed to attend, it is not clear what was said and by whom.
The College must use Building L for some type of Career and Technical Education because it was constructed in part back in 2004 with the help of a Government grant and a promise that the federal funds would be used for that purpose. The most likely scenario is that it will be renovated for the nursing program.
