On Feb. 28, a
portion of the Student Services Building’s heating system broke down. The issue
was the result of bearings in the air handlers. “The equipment is all-original,
and was installed in 1959,” said Doug Jenson, Director of Facilities at AVC.
“One of the parts had to be flown in overnight from Texas,” he said. The parts
have been installed, and the problem has been repaired. Jenson reported that
there is no estimate on the cost of parts and labor as of yet. This situation
does beg the question, how much of AVC’s infrastructure is aging and falling
into disrepair?
