It will be a busy summer on the Bay College campus in Escanaba as major renovations are made in several areas.
College President Laura Coleman says the renovations will help the college to better educate students, especially in those high-tech, vocational fields that yield good-paying jobs to graduates.
She says they will be doubling the size of the welding lab and there will also be a new water technology lab that will include live video streaming, allowing students to take part in lectures from afar.
The renovations will cost an combined $3.6 million.
Coleman says most of the work will be done by the middle of August, but the welding department upgrades won’t be finished until the beginning of January.
