50 years of history fall with Kline Center demolition

After unanticipated delays, the Kline building should be leveled within the next month, said Blair Brennan, CSC coordinator of physical facilities.

Equipment arrived Monday and workers have begun to remove inside walls. “By the end of next week, assuming weather conditions cooperate, people could begin to see outside walls come down,” Brennan said. The unanticipated removal of asbestos cost an additional $175,000. With the demolition of Kline, college officials expect to save $70,000 in utilities and maintenance costs per year.

The decision has been made to replace the Kline building with an additional 75 parking slots for students, facility, and visitors.

Discussions of replacing the Kline building with a band cover have been postponed due to lack of funding, but the concrete slab that is already located directly south of the building will be wired for power.
