Gym Renovation Update July 19, 2009

Demolition in the gym continues. Photos from the locker room areas show the workers digging a lot of holes, making a tremendous amount of noise, yet properly wearing their hard hats.

Gym Renovation Update July 8th, 2009

The General Contractor ('GC') for the gym project is TN Ward. The company has a lot of experience in the region with educational projects, some of which can be viewed at
http://www.tnward.com/portfolio_type.php?cid=2. Locally, they built the Atlantic City Public Safety Building and renovated the Cape may County Court House. They are also the GC for the new soccer stadium currently under construction in Chester, PA.

The GC is currently working in the area of the locker rooms. Once completed, there will be Women's and Men's Locker Rooms, plus a visiting team locker room. I will post the architectural drawing for the project soon. The pictures of the renovations were taken July 8th.

Gym Renovations

The college is renovating Jonathan Pitney Hall, or as some people call it, the gym. It should be completed by November and will have new locker rooms, new scoreboard, air conditioning, and a fitness center.

This is part of ACCC's new commitment to expand the athletic program. Men's Soccer starts this fall as an intercollegiate sport. We had two great years as a club soccer team, highlighted by the ESSL (Eastern States Soccer League) championship in 2007 and a tie versus then #3-ranked Brookdale last September. (Brookdale would eventually rise to #1 before losing in the regional playoffs.)

Softball starts in the Spring of 2010, joining Region 19 and the Garden State Athletic Conference (GSAC).
