“STLCC Transformed” continues to affect Meramec greatly, and a new phase of the project begins Sept. 8 with an official groundbreaking ceremony for a new Financial Services and Enrollment Center and the Center for Emerging Technology in front of the old Library building.
In recent weeks, all buildings along Big Bend Road that are scheduled for demolition in the immediate future were fenced off. Electricity across the campus was shut down during the weekend of Aug. 25 to help prepare for the demolition process.
The demolition process itself is scheduled to be a slower process than expected, with buildings coming down over the coming months.
In addition to these projects, the Social Science building will also see some changes, despite it not being scheduled for demolition in this phase of the project. The west entrance to the building will be closed off on Monday, Sept. 11 for upcoming demolition. Demolition to the canopy between Social Science and the now closed and soon to be demolished Business Administration Building will start on Tuesday, Sept. 12.
For continuing coverage of how STLCC Transformed is affecting Meramec, as well as photos and video of the Groundbreaking ceremony, please stay tuned to meramecmontage.com and our associated social media accounts.
