Commemorating PVCC’s Commitment to Community
On Jan. 11, 2023, PVCC faculty and staff, students, and school board members gathered in the North Mall meeting room to commemorate the construction of the new Woodrow W. Bolick Advanced Technology and Student Success Center (ATSSC).
The 45,000-square-foot solar-powered building is scheduled for completion in January 2024. Featuring several new hands-on technology labs, including forensics, cybersecurity, robotics, and manufacturing. The building will offer students ample opportunities to gain experience in growing technology fields. Moreover, the ATSSC will consolidate administrative offices, and it will include student meeting spaces and club offices, fostering student success and engagement at this new heart of PVCC’s campus.
PVCC hosted a ceremony to thank the contributors for the new building. There was massive applause as Jim and Cynthia Stultz, the largest sponsors of the new building, wrote their names on one of the building’s structural beams. Following, all attendees were invited to sign the beam, figuratively and literally leaving their mark on PVCC’s history. According to Harry Stillerman, PVCC’s vice president of institutional advancement & development, this new building is “symbolic of our belief in our community,” and those involved are “excited to have a facility we and our students deserve.”
The signatures of PVCC’s supporters, faculty, and students are now forever penned on the ATSSC’s beam, representing PVCC’s deep commitment to its community. Many people have made this new project possible, and just as their names are attached to the physical structure of the campus, their dedication to building an educated community bolsters the spirit of prosperity for the people surrounding them. PVCC has shared a video about the event on their YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6shg9_XCFes.
