Coalton — Ashland Community and Technical College’s EastPark campus is starting to look more like a real campus.
That’s because a second, larger building is going up to join the original structure on the campus.
The walls of the 127,000-square-foot structure are up and much of it is under roof, said dean of administrative services Stu Taylor.
Much of the brick has been laid and workers are poised to install stone and steel facing on the facade.
Some of the curbs and a portion of the approach road have been built.
Exterior work is expected to be complete in about a month, and then workers will move inside to finish. Workers are expected to complete the project by August 2009, Taylor said.
The completion of the facade makes a dramatic change in the campus on a windswept plain in the industrial park off of I-64 near the Boyd-Greenup county line.
The $35 million addition is three times larger than the existing building. It combines what originally were to have been two separate building phases.
It connects with the existing building at what originally was the main entrance. It will house classrooms, labs and workshops for some of ACTC’s technical programs and also administrative offices and student services.
Programs relocating to the campus include applied process technologies, automotive technology, business administration, construction carpentry, computer aided drafting, culinary arts, diesel technology, fire rescue technology, heating, ventilation and air conditioning technology, information technology, and office systems technology.
