Architect, Charles Rose, has began collaboration with OCAC and artists who will integrate artwork into various portions of the building.

The new insulated Sarnafil roofing system, a vinyl membrane for green building, has been installed at the main Drawing, Painting and Photography Building (DPP). 

The Thesis Bulding has been framed and sheathed.

The canopy connection between the Thesis Building and the main DPP building has been completed and is ready for roofing materials to be applied. Structural steel work for the second story exterior deck was installed and is ready for fire-treated decking.

The large concrete retaining wall for the DPP stairs connecting to the Centrum building was formed and poured. The irrigation work for the landscaping work has also started.

Washington County has approved the plans for the facilities permit for OCAC. This will allow the new sidewalks along Leahy Road and Barnes Road to start shortly, as well as revisions and traffic controls to the main entry to OCAC from Barnes Road.    

The fire sprinklers and plumbing work is roughed-in on the photography department lower level of the DPP Building.
