JBCPE was charged with producing schematic drawings
and an Order of Magnitude cost estimates for the
four components of this project. Report was

analysis. Projects will proceed when funding is
identified. Athletics issued a Req. for additional

will require mechanical and electrical drawings and a
code analysis of the ventilation system before it can be
moved. A complete scope definition and anticipated
costs was forwarded to the client and the
administration for deliberation. Academic Affairs is
currently funding the electrical work needed to hook
up the band saw and the table saw since these two
components serve the current curriculum and cannot
wait. Work in bidding phase.
