What’s similar about construction and early childhood development? Both are meant to build things up.
That’s what’s happening behind Peninsula College’s Keegan Hall.
Since mid-December 2015, Neeley Construction and Cabinet Construction have been behind the construction of the college’s new $25.6 million building, the Allied Health and Early Childhood Development Center.
Jason Sloan, the project foreman, said, “It’s a yearlong project, and the official moving date is December 2017.”
This new 41,650 square-foot facility will have a hospital layout on the second
floor for the nursing students, with the Educare facility on the ground floor.
Hopefully, they’ll be learning new skills while studying in a ‘Greys Anatomy’ environment so that the transition from school to hospital will be an effortless adjustment.
