Sandra and I had a chance to stop at Moraine Valley Community College on Sunday for the ribbon-cutting/open house for three buildings recently added to the campus. Despite weather that has been abruptly cool and cloudy for October, the day was picture-perfect--mid 50s and sunny.
The food for the event was above-average for such a catered event, and the new buildings are a very nice addition to the college. The U (for Student Union) has been open for about half a year, and is inviting with the open glass allowing sunlight and views of the campus central green space.
The C, new science building, has the latest equipment for labs in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Anatomy. Sandra commented that the physical layout of the labs, along with equipment, was first rate. The M or Moraine building, with its large hall which can seat 800 people, is the gateway to the community, housing Workforce Development to the Culinary Arts. Both C and M are very newly opened, having been in use since August.
Some acknowledgements should be made to the Community College. In these days of hearing overblown budgets and delays, the expansion project was on budget and on time. I'd like to commend the President, Dr. Vernon Crawley, and the various boards on a job well done.
