its completion the state “han

have been met.
The elevator is a “necessi

tial because we had to meet the
codes or we couldn’t remodel.”
The Art Center is on the
west end of the campus near
the John Inskeep Environmen
tal Learning Center. A
renovated, two-story structure,
formerly the Smuckers Jam
plant created difficulties for
wheelchair-bound students to
get to the second floor offices
or classes.
“My office, (art instructor)
Leland John’s office, and tv
studios are upstairs,” Bursheiu
explained. “In the past, we ca
