Columbia Building Renovation Update
The renovation of the Columbia Building is well underway. The project began last year and is set to be finished in late May. When the building is completed, it will be ADA accessible with new ramps and an elevator. Classrooms and workspaces will also be modernized. Columbia was built in 1905. During the renovation project, Novak Academy has been temporarily housed at Parkland College. Other programs have also been temporarily relocated. Here are side-by-side photos of the renovations.
