If you’ve been wondering about the big trash receptacles in front of the old Physical Fitness Annex (PFA) this week or all the digging around it last fall, wonder no more. The digging was to repair an issue with water in the building and the trash receptacles were for cleaning out old items being stored in the building. This work is in preparation to repurpose the PFA building into a new Health Simulation Center!
Expect to see more workers, construction trucks/equipment, etc. at the site in the coming months as we remodel the building.
