Downtown and Goochland campuses unveiling new renovations


New DTC student services offices and lobby staircase to be ready for start of Spring Semester

Rome wasn’t built in a day.  But, we’re making progress!  2013 will bring a fresh look, better use of space, and facility improvements to the Downtown Campus.  Among the changes are newly renovated and relocated student services offices.  These include the Success Center, Office of Student Accommodations, the Career, Employment and Transfer Center, the Business Office and the Academic Computing Center. The offices should be relocated and ready to serve students in their permanent locations prior to commencement of the Spring semester.

Between December 10th and 20th the large construction wall in the Downtown Campus lobby is scheduled to come down and be repositioned. This will result in access to the new lobby staircase that will lead students, faculty and staff to the second floor.  When the construction wall is repositioned, the front entrance by 7th street will be closed and the entrance by 8th Street will be the only front entrance utilized to enter the building from Jackson Street.

All student services, along with the cafeteria and Department of Police will maintain their current locations through the end of the fall academic semester.

Goochland Student Commons and Community Room renovations to add comfort and access

More space and more comfort – that’s what students, faculty, staff and visitors will enjoy on the Goochland Campus through the current renovations.

The new student commons will be where the existing community room is located.  The commons will provide students with a lounge, eatery area, vending machines, tables and recreational space. In order to complete these renovations, the current student commons has been relocated to Room 107 in Building C01.

The new community room will be relocated into the existing student commons area space. The Goochland Campus renovations should be completed by January 26th, 2013.   

“We appreciate everyone’s support and patience,” says Mark Probst, JSRCC Director of Facilities Management & Planning.  “The faculty and staff have been fantastic with being flexible throughout the changes, as all of the renovations are improvements to provide students with a better learning environment."
