High-voltage upgrade completed; deferred-maintenance estimates total tens of millions

Eric Conduzio updated committees that the college’s high-voltage infrastructure project has completed its main phases — conduit and transformer replacement, new generator testing, and repaving of several campus drives and parking areas — and that residual paving and grounds repairs are scheduled for late 2026 into spring 2027. He thanked county partners for their support and said the work ‘‘has been a great improvement for the college.’’

Conduzio also outlined deferred-maintenance priorities and rough cost estimates: accessibility improvements (about $4 million), a replacement/repair program for Eisenhart Hall (roof, mechanical and ventilation work estimated at $12–15 million), and consolidation of maintenance buildings (about $4 million). The college said an HVAC study is underway and total HVAC costs are to be determined before final budgeting.
