Progress Report |
||||||
April 2, 2010 One year ago, ground was broken for the first Job Corps Center in Milwaukee. Since then eight buildings have emerged that will be substantially complete by June. The welcome center, administration, student services, and gym/recreation buildings are getting final interior finishes and are being cleaned up for furniture move-in while the education building's floors and ceilings are being installed. |

The cafeteria is starting to show its purpose as food service equipment is integrated. The two 136-bed dormitories are getting finishing touches as well. As the buildings near completion, the site is also taking shape and will soon incorporate concrete walkways carving out green space for landscaping. Not only is this project getting local attention, its campus design is gaining national recognition as a model for future centers. The campus was meticulously laid out to differentiate the bustling day activities from the slower-paced evening activities. The buildings all face inwards and together create an applied learning atmosphere where outdoor spaces promote personal interaction. The design will greatly contribute to community building when the 300+ students start occupying the campus in fall.
