Calvin and Janet High Center for Worship and Performing Arts
Artist Renderings of the Calvin and Janet High Center for Worship and Performing Arts
Work will begin on the water line replacement along College Ave from the South Entrance to the existing CFA (Climenhaga Fine Arts) Parking Lot. This work will involve excavation and the removal of the sidewalk from the CFA Parking Lot down the hill to the South Entrance. Employees and students are asked to use the sidewalk that runs between CFA and the Climenhaga Homestead. We expect that the sidewalk that runs from the CFA Parking Lot to the South Entrance will be closed for the duration of the construction of the High Center. Any questions should be directed to 691-6011, Facility Services.

The new building is really starting to come together now as you can see in the pictures below.
November 22 , 2011
Contractors continue to erect the steel. Decking is being placed and concrete flooring is being poured. Spray fire proofing is being applied to the structural steel. Back filling continues around the building foundation. The contractor continues to work towards closing the building in before cold winter weather approaches
October 7 , 2011
Some pictures of the progress......
September 23 , 2011
Over the next few weeks the contractor will continue to work on erecting the steel work. Decking will begin to be constructed in preparation for the concrete floors. The steel work will be focused on installation in the area of the new Auditorium. Backfilling of the foundations walls and masonry block walls will be coordinated between September and October. We will see contractors spraying fire proofing on the new steel beams.
Please monitor the project on the project live web cam that can be located at http://153.42.7.60/en/JViewer.html. Any questions regarding the construction of the High Center can be directed to Facility Services.
September 2 , 2011
The process of installing the structural steel at the High Center has begun. Contractors will be working over the next several weeks bolting and welding the structure together. As the steel goes up, the block work continues. Over the next few weeks there will be times that Creekside Drive will need to be temporarily closed so that 63' pieces of steel can be off- loaded from tractor trailer trucks. Please visit the live camera feed located at the link above for daily ongoing progress of this project.
