The Green River Community College Trades and Industry Complex (TI) is comprised
of five aging buildings, TI-A, TI-B, TI-C, TI-D, and TI-E, which house the automotive,
auto body, carpentry, manufacturing, and welding educational programs. TI-A,
B, and C were built in 1966 and TI D and E in 1976. The complex is one of the
original low cost, “cottage style” facilities at Green River - built quickly
to meet an immediate program need, without much regard for longevity.
The TI Complex, with the exception of TI-D that was renovated in 2002, is
a prime candidate for replacement. The 2005 Facilities Condition Survey score
of 662 greatly exceeds the Replace threshold of 475 and supports the College’s
own assessment that the buildings have exceeded their life cycles.
The design process began in 2009. Significant reductions in capital finding
during the 2010 supplemental legislative session resulted in a decision to “mothball”
the design process until 2012. The design process will re-start in 2012 with
the goal of having permits in hand in spring 2013.
Construction funding for the TI Complex is expected in 2013-2015.
