Rock Creek construction, tree removal to begin
Story by Janis Nichols
During the next few days the beginning phases of the long-anticipated Building 7 remodel will start at the Rock Creek Campus. Safety fences, gravel pathways and聽tree聽removal聽will be among the first steps in this process. Nine聽trees聽have been identified for聽removal. Rock Creek鈥檚 General contractor Fortis Construction is in contact with members of the Art Department and with Building Construction Technology Program to see that all reasonable efforts are made to salvage and recycle all usable lumber. New聽trees聽will be planted around Building 7 as soon as the weather and construction traffic allows.
Tree聽removal聽can be difficult, but of the nine聽trees聽that are to be聽cut down, one is diseased and the others are so close to the building that聽removing聽them for construction expansion is the only option. For more planning and construction news, visit 小黄猫传媒鈥檚 Bond Website.
I am currently a student at 小黄猫传媒. I am also a sales rep for a lagitamate and licenced tree service. My question is: How do I get to bid on the tree jobs for 小黄猫传媒?

John–The trees identified for removal are now down. Fortis Construction has the lead on this entire project so going forward, you might just want to add your name to a list of folks they might call on at a later date.
The construction project at Rock Creek campus involved the removal of nine trees–most of them on the small side. They are now down and our art department is working to recycle as much of the wood as possible. At this time, there are no additional trees scheduled for removal.
I will keep you and everybody intrested posted
