The Kaskaskia Col-lege Board ofTrustees held aworkshop to consid-er amendments to

the College’s Capital ProjectsPlan on Monday, July 15.

The original Capital ProjectsPlan called for construction ofexpanded facilities for the Tren-ton and Nashville Education Cen-ters, renovation and expansion ofthe Crisp Technology Center, andthe construction of new Nursingand Agricultural facilities on themain campus.

Kaskaskia College recentlysigned an IntergovernmentalAgreement with the State of Illi-nois that allows for KC to utilizethe former Animal Disease Labon the KC main campus forinstructional purposes for a fiveyear period with one five yearrenewal period. Use of theexisting building, with the pro-posed new name “KaskaskiaCollege Agricultural EducationCenter,” could be accomplishedwith a minimum of renovationsand would allow for the KCAgriculture department to beginutilizing the space in the nearfuture, lessening the need for anew building to be constructed

for expansion of Agricultureprograms and facilities.

The facility may also be usedfor providing public water test-ing services, and there is areported interest by the FarmBureau and the University ofIllinois for maintaining officesin the newly acquired building.Both would be consideredexcellent partners for the Col-lege.

Ratification of the Intergov-ernmental Agreement is on theagenda for the regular Board ofTrustees monthly meeting to beheld on July 22.

The proposed changes to theCapital Plan suggests that theArena portion of the originalAgriculture Building be post-poned for a period of time andthe bond funds originally allo-cated to the new Ag facility beused to complete the other Capi-tal projects on the list.

These bond funds, as re-allo-cated, would allow for complet-ing plans for the Capital Pro-jects in a timely manner.

The Board Workshop sessionmet to discuss the proposed re-allocation of bond funds beforea vote is taken on the issue atthe July 22 regular monthlyBoard meeting.
