Advertiser Staff
HONOLULU – Gov. Linda Lingle has released $885,000 for asbestos removal at Maui Community College. The project involves the removal and installation of new roofs at four buildings on the campus."Installing new roofs is necessary to protect the health and safety of students, faculty and staff at the college," Lingle said. "These funds are part of the state's commitment to invest in the upgrade and maintenance of our community college and university campuses across the state."
The Department of Accounting and General Services will oversee the project because of its expertise in supervising renovation projects statewide.
Last week, Lingle announced the release of $50 million to repair and improve facilities at all 10 University of Hawai'i campuses. The projects include air conditioning replacement, roofing, repainting and mechanical/electrical upgrades.
Construction at Maui Community College is scheduled to begin in January 2008 and be completed in December 2008.
