Background:

The purpose of this memo is to summarize changes made to the proposed 2018 county bond project list and the

Connect NC state bond project list.

Connect NC Bond

On June 13, 2016, the Alamance Community College Board of Trustees approved how the College would utilize

the $6.1M in Connect NC state bonds allocated to the College. Following is a brief summary of what was

approved.

College Administration proposes the following changes to align 2018 county bond and NC Connect bond

projects with predicted funds to ensure the College’s facilities master plan is fully implemented over the next 10

2

years. The major change from the original list is transferring design work for the Powell Building renovation and

Student Center new construction to the proposed county bond, transferring satellite location development to the

proposed county bond and/or county capital allocation, increasing the scope of the original backfill project, and

reducing the culinary renovation/expansion project scope.

prepare students for jobs and university transfer by modernizing academic and job-training classrooms and

facilities, creating a Public Safety Training Center, expanding the Natural and Life Science Facilities, building a

new Student Services Learning and Development Center, and constructing a Student Vehicle Center. Major

changes from the original list include adding the Public Safety Training Center, removing the new library from the

bond measure, decreasing the scope of Natural and Life Science Facilities, decreasing the scope of the Multi-
