With the roofing seals going into place this week, construction of the Ronald H. and Verna June Meen Center for Science and Math at Tusculum College continues to progress at a steady rate.
As of the first week of March, exterior framing and sheathing is approximately 90 percent complete, according to David Martin, director of facilities at Tusculum College. “The lecture hall slab on grade is being poured in multiple sequences and will be complete this week,” he said.
“Waterproofing and window installation, as well as mechanical, electrical and fire protection trades are continuing as we work towards the milestones of permanent power and unit startup.”
The Meen Center for Science and Math will be a four-story structure of approximately 100,000 square feet. Interiors include wings for biology, chemistry, mathematics, computer science and environmental science. There will also be lab space and research areas for both faculty and students.
The ground floor features the environmental science wing with a loading dock, as well as large general classroom spaces and classrooms equipped for distance learning programs. A large lecture hall will be included on the ground floor. Space is also allocated to house the Bachelor of Science degree program in nursing and at least one other graduate level health-related program.
Construction continues on the Ronald H. and Verna June Meen Center for Science and Math with roofing seals being put into place.
Windows have started to be installed as exterior framing is nearing completion.
