The last four or five months have been very eventful for us on the SOLO campus.
The long anticipated new addition to the Main Building was completed this fall. The addition provides needed storage space and houses a new 10,000 gallon water tank downstairs. Upstairs a new classroom has replaced the deck. The classroom has already been put to use in the last two EMT classes and is looking like it is going to be a popular spot to study as well as hold classes.
Additional upgrades to the Main Building include the replacement of the old fire escape on the West side of the building and the replacement of the old furnace with one that is more efficient, and hopefully more reliable. While work was underway on the Main Building, we took time to replace the old fire ladder on the office building with a proper staircase, and put up new siding on the East side.
With the changeover of the National Registry test from written to computer-based, we went to wi-fi so that students could use their laptops or the student computer for their practice tests.
In preparation for winter, which has finally arrived, the road sander for the plow truck was upgraded and a new sand shed to hold our winter supply of road sand was built down in the student parking lot. Now if we could just keep that darn cat from using it as his personal litter box….
