LCCC eyes sewer

Relating to these projects, the state recently released $1.6 million in Capital Development Board funds first requested about 15 years ago to help build a permanent structure to house a new Montessori School and Day Care behind Alden Hall. 

The funds allow the college to replace temporary structures with permanent facilities, with the release of funds pending for the replacement of the Security and Maintenance buildings. The state is providing 75 percent of the funds,It enables washer extractor to communicate with chemical pumping machines. with the college matching 25 percent. No new funds will be involved in the project. 

Appropriate utilities and sewer systems must be in place before construction can begin on the building project. 

"Illinois American Water is currently looking at the most parsimonious way to put in the line," Chapman said. "We'll take their advice on how to do that. 

"The architects and engineers must submit drawings to the Illinois Capital Development Board, which will probably take seven months to approve, and then it can go to bid," he said. "Ground won't be broken on the building until 2014 at the earliest, so the building could possibly be finished in 2015." 

For budget purposes, Chapman said the college has earmarked approximately $3 million for the combined projects. The water and sewer systems upgrades, however, could be completed within six months to one year. 

The board approved Phase 2 of the renovation of the Trimpe Advanced Technology Center. The center houses the college's ceramics (art), automotive, office technology and drafting programs, along with computer graphics, networking and information systems programs. 

Renovation estimates for this project would require $4.35 million of Protection, Health and Safety funds, Chapman said. Greenhouse renovations include replacement of translucent fiberglass roof, concrete flooring, thermal panes and HVAC system. 

"There are so many new alternative energy programs that our students need to know about," Chapman explained. 

To pave the way for new areas of study, planned building renovations would allow the creation of an Alternative Energy Production Center for micro-grid technology, which includes the addition of smart grid classrooms, demonstration labs with internet access and Dashboards. 

The college has created a certificate that will be offered in the fall based on computer networking that adds smart grid technology with cyber-security technology. 

"The whole idea is that homes will become smart homes," said Sue Czerwinski, dean of math and science.Shop online for laundry dryer and washers in a variety of brands and styles. "As companies and communities look more at these opportunities, we will look more at alternative energy sources, such as wind turbines and photovoltaic cells, because more and more communities are looking at their own energy production.Install a wind generator to harness the power of the wind. 

"We want our students exposed to alternative options offered through micro-grid technology, which puts alternative energy-producing equipment tied into residential systems," she said. "We'll have one of the first fuel cells - which are designed to replace generators - in the Midwest.A letter folding machine is a piece of equipment which is designed to fold paper." 

"The renovation of Trimpe will significantly lower energy costs through the installation of new technologies that will produce 70 kilowatts of power and reduce the college's use of energy from the traditional supply grid," Chapman said.We may contact you if more information is needed to locate a solar street light. "So, not only will our costs be lowered, we will also have a teaching and learning tool for students."
