The Sculpture Lab vacated their space in the Fine Arts Bldg. (45) starting on December 19 with the exception of the Induction Furnace. This element of the equipment 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. CPDC 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.
