The Student Services Center (SSC), which houses student support operations, student clubs and student engagement areas, is being renovated as of December 2023 to better serve our students.
The renovation includes:
- An improved main entrance
- A unified “one stop” for student services on the second floor
- Updates to the atrium, which includes changes to acoustics and a large digital presentation wall that helps provide more variety for formal and informal student activities and events
The renovation will also relocate Brew 425 to the newly-designed first floor. Additionally, the renovation will create a new multicultural center and reorganize the student life lounge, club and organization meeting rooms, the multipurpose room and departmental offices to better integrate student connections.
Renovation Timeframe
The renovation is scheduled to occur in two phases. Please note the following time periods are approximate:
- The first phase will take place from March 2024 to October 2024
- The second phase will take place from October 2024 to May 2025
Anticipated Noise and Power Outages
Demolition work for the Student Services Center renovation is currently underway and will continue during business hours for several weeks.
Power Outages
- Planned isolated shutdowns of electric service are necessary to complete this phase and will be communicated to occupants in advance.
- While all shutdowns are planned in advance, there may be occasional disruptions in the Student Resource Center or Berg Instructional Center.
- If you experience any electric service concerns, please call x4440.
Construction Noise
- Sound insulation panels have been installed to reduce noise from demolition and construction activities.
- Louder construction activities are scheduled outside of class hours.
Staff and students will be redirected from their usual routes to accommodate brief construction activities. During this time, corridor lighting may be reduced. - For questions or concerns other than power outages, please contact Facilities Senior Project Manager Jim Prochaska at x4046 or via email at prochaskaj150@cod.edu.
