Vandalia Campus Construction

Vandalia Campus Construction Phase I

Groundbreaking for Vandalia campus was held on August 29^th , 2006.  This split-level 21,000 square foot building will include both classroom and lab spaces.  Construction of the building should begin in early September and be completed in early summer of 2007. 

Throughout the design phase of this building, the architect and engineers, along with the design committee, recognized the need to incorporate sustainable design, or “green” elements as the building was being developed.  A “green building” is one that uses the latest technology that is more environmentally conscious and improves efficiencies through HVAC systems, window treatments, landscaping, flooring, lighting, and physical placement of the building.

As a result of this planning, the project has been registered with the United States Green Building Council. We are seeking certification to become a LEED Building, which stands for “Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design”.  Our facility is on track to be one of the first buildings in the State of Illinois to achieve this recognition.
