The Zero-increase Renewal for Maintenance and Improvement for five more years will cover the completion of Phase 2 of critical maintenance and renovation projects across Main Campus in Monroe and the Whitman Center in Temperance. Most of MCCC’s facilities were built more than 55 years ago, and several were built in the 1990s; therefore, improvements to infrastructure and facilities are vital for MCCC to remain competitive and ensure an excellent environment for student service and learning, safety, accessibility and efficiency.
The projects fall into the following categories:
- Updating the Student Services and Learning Environments. Renovate areas in facilities across campus to maintain and improve the student services and learning environments, including collaboration spaces, classrooms, labs, offices, dining areas, the Bookstore and more.
- Safety. Enhance and improve safety and security across campus, including completion of a campus-wide, interior and exterior door access control system project, new lighting systems both inside and outside, and installation of fire suppression equipment throughout all buildings.
- Accessibility. Bring all facilities up to standards for people with disabilities and other special needs, including installation of accessible restrooms and entryways, proper elevator access and accessible door hardware.
- Efficiency. Complete the upgrade of the IT network infrastructure, including the wireless network, fiber optic network and uninterruptible power supply; improve cellular connectivity; implement remote document management, and connect remaining buildings to the existing geothermal HVAC system.
- Deferred Maintenance. Ensure and maintain the quality of facilities through the repair/replacement of doors, windows, roofs, parking lots and other outdated infrastructure.
