6A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, MAY 19, 2017 Patriot Hall: ‘Will be a valuable resource for years to come’ ulum for a drug and alcohol counseling program has been approved by the state. “But in conversations with the com- munity, it’s not the best oppor- tunity for providing what stu- dents need for good jobs, and what the community needs,” she said. Frimoth said the college is still working with community partners on how to create an effective program in drug and alcohol counseling. Continued from Page 1A The main gym won’t be part of the fi tness program, but the college is setting up usage fees for community sports, such as basketball and badminton. Aiming to make Patriot Hall a revenue source, the college has budgeted $40,000 in the 2017-18 school year in fees and sponsorships from renting Patriot Hall out for tournaments, conferences and other events. JoAnn Zahn, the college’s vice president of fi nance and operations, said the college will charge $125 per hour to rent the gym to for-profi t groups, and $62.50 per hour for nonprof- its. Patriot Hall will host its fi rst rental, a basketball camp, in July. Staffi ng Patriot Hall will be physical education instruc- tor and Dean of Transfer Edu- cation Teena Toyas. Zahn said the college plans to use a pool of 15 to 20 federal work- study students to monitor the building. Finishing up Patriot programs When pushing the county bond measure that paid for half of Patriot Hall, former President Lawrence Galizio touted the building as the future home of paramedic, alcohol and drug counsel- ing and exercise physiol- ogy programs. But the col- lege has since scaled back its ambitions. Kovatch said the college has reached out to other para- Submitted Photo The inside of Patriot Hall will include a gym on the main floor, workout areas on the sec- ond and an elevated running track on the third. medic programs to gauge the possibility of making the col- lege a satellite campus. “Partnership discussions are currently underway,” she said. “It was determined that a standalone CCC -accredited paramedic program would be cost-restrictive.” Kovatch said the college is encouraging paramedic hope- fuls to take prerequisites at the college before transfer- ring out. One of Patriot Hall’s classrooms will be dedi- cated for an emergency med- ical technician certifi cation program. An exercise physiology program was explored, but Toyas said it was deemed ineffi cient for students. “Our area is not very conducive to jobs in that program, and people can get the same type of training for less money online,” she said. Margaret Frimoth, the col- lege’s new vice president of academics, said the curric- The college broke ground on Patriot Hall in June 2015, hoping to open the building the beginning of this school year. Patriot Hall is the third phase of the college’s Jerome Campus r edevelopment p roj- ect, after the construction of Columbia Hall and the reno- vation of Towler Hall. But Ann Gyde, the col- lege’s historian and a man- ager of the Patriot Hall proj- ect, said general contractor P&C Construction, which has worked on the college’s pre- vious construction projects as well as Columbia Memo- rial Hospital’s new cancer treatment center, has faced challenges in a constricted, hillside work site at the cen- ter of campus. Contractors have had to truck materials up Coxcomb Hill and stage them in a parking lot behind Columbia Hall.

The region’s veterans, the namesake of the build- ing, were commemorated by a large metal plaque that hung on the old building’s northern wall. The college will hang the plaque at the southeastern entrance to Patriot Hall near the end of construction. The building will be rededicated on the 96th anniversary of Armistice Day Nov. 11. “Patriot Hall will be a cen- ter of community engagement on our campus whether it is through the educational pro- gramming, special events or recreational opportunities,” college President Christo- pher Breitmeyer said. “Patriot will be a valuable resource for years to come.” Volunteer Pick of the Week COMMUNITY IN BRIEF The Daily Astorian at the corner of Lexington Avenue and 16th Street in February 2016, so the property needed to be restabilized.
