The open house events, hosted by the PCC Bond Team, GBD Architects and campus administration on Tuesday, November 1, provided campus stakeholders an opportunity to ask questions, learn about projects planned for the winter and spring, and understand the construction schedule.

Many of the bond-funded projects at Sylvania campus support the College’s 2009 Climate Action Plan. These include the newly installed energy efficient dehumidifiers for the campus pool area,  Clear Edge fuel cells to provide power to Sylvania’s Health Technology Building and  to heat that building’s swimming pool, and upgrades to the heating hot water loop.
