Project Description:
Public Education Capital Outlay (PECO) funds are being requested for planning dollars to renovate MCC's Art Classroom and Laboratory Building located on the Bradenton campus. Many of MCC's required General Education and Humanities related courses are taught within this facility, as is Art Appreciation and a variety of artisan-specific seminars and workshops. In its current condition, this facility does not provide an environment that is conducive to faculty teaching or student learning. Besides being ergonomically unfit, this building is requiring more maintenance attention and asoociated financial commitments each year due to its age. An upgrade is necessary to ensure user safety, to accomodate increased student and community usage, and to ensure the optimal use of campus space.
 
Is this a water project as described in Chapter 2002-291, Laws of Florida? No
 
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
The proposed renovation will provide a greater level of student and community access to college level work, accomodate increased enrollment at the College and within the programs primarily housed within the facility, and enable the institution to deliver its required core (General Education) curriculum in existing campus space.
