Other Projects

The Facilities Master Plan calls for a number of other projects that will transform the Main Campus.
Included in these projects are the rennovation and relocation of the FLITE Lab, Physics and Science Labs, expansion of the Welding Lab, and the Landscaping Master Plan.
In late February work began to renovate Community Commons Building Rooms 1406/1407. Rooms were repainted and new AV equipment was installed. Project was completed in April of 2024.
Updates as of May 2024:
FRC Plaza
Sun sails above the Plaza are up (they will be up from 4/15 through 10/15 annually to avoid weather hazards in colder months) and landscaping is underway and will be completed this summer.
Timeline: Debut of Plaza at Elevate Heartland event on 5/31/24
Landscaping
Removal of problem trees underway (stumps will need to be ground), and new grasses, shrubs, and trees are coming. Native species were chosen in most locations, but some hardier species will go into trouble areas. The ICB East-wing East-entry work is underway but will remain accessible. New retaining wall and steps will be installed to address runoff.
Timeline: 5/1/24 - 6/30/24
ICN North Ramp
We are removing stairs and installing an accessible ramp. The North entrance will be closed during construction.
Timeline: 5/20/24 – 6/30/24
Corridor Updates
We are updating the corridors in CCB (second floor) and SCB (both floors). Pictures and artwork are being removed and put into storage.
Furniture will be reallocated and carpet will be replaced. Access to all offices should remain open unless you are directly told otherwise.
Timeline: 5/20/24 - 8/9/24
Welding Lab Remodel
We have upgraded booths and increased number from 10 to 30 total. We are installing new welders, improving air filtration, and creating larger clearance around equipment.
Timeline: 5/13/24 – 8/12/24
Science Lab Renovations (Phase 1)
We are working on updating the ICB first floor west wing. We will be adding two new A&P Labs and updating the Biology & Micro-Biology Labs & Prep Rooms. Demo is underway as of 5/20/24.
Timeline: 5/20/24 – 8/26/24
Challenger Learning Center
We are removing a wall to consolidate old mission control space and gathering space. A larger space will better serve class lunches and events
Timeline: 5/20/24 – 9/1/24
