New CYMS Tour

Second-year Engineering students from Casper College, along with members from the CC Building Design Committee were given a tour of the New CY Middle School on Sept. 24th by Project Manager, John Griffith. Students and committee members were extremely impressed with the size of the project and with the exposed structures they viewed while on the tour. They commented on the exceptional quality and the vast amount of work that has taken place in the small amount of time since breaking ground and starting the construction in October of 2008. The students asked many questions regarding the construction and design aspect of the building. Everyone enjoyed touring the building's crawl space and took a special interest in the technical concept of the building's mechanical systems and the sustainable elements of the project, which are not commonly found around the State.
