Did you know that there are over 20,000 nonprofits in Iowa working every day to improve lives and strengthen communities? The demand for nonprofit leadership continues to grow. However, in Grinnell and in other rural communities, most community organizations run with little or no staff and are highly dependent on the dedication of volunteers to accomplish their missions.
Grinnell College marked a significant milestone in Renfrow Hall's construction with a Topping-Off Ceremony. Weitz, the construction company, noted this event signals the completion of the building's skeleton structure, with the elevator hoist beam serving as the focal point. Attendees shared in the unique opportunity to sign this pivotal piece before it was raised into place.
Two prestigious awards from the Society for College and University Planning (SCUP), a merit award and an honorable mention, were recently bestowed upon the college for its outstanding work on the Kington/Christiansen outdoor gathering and learning areas and the Humanities and Social Studies Center (HSSC) building.
Starting April 13th, an area encompassing the west side of Park Street and Hwy. 6 in front of the John Chrystal Center (JCC) will be fenced off as the College and Weitz Construction team embark on the next phase of the South Energy Plant project, which will connect campus and downtown facilities. The fence surrounding the construction site will go up on Thursday, April 13th and Friday, April 14th and will remain in place until the end of June.
