BCC Trustees Taking Cautious
Approach In Planning For
Next School Building Project
BY SUSAN USHER
Brunswick Community College
trustees are moving cautiously in se
lecting an architect for the next cam
pus construction project, a 54 mil
lion classroom and laboratory build
ing to house the school's growing al
lied health curriculum programs.
Their goal is to avoid the
"headache- of the Odell Williamson
Auditorium construction project, as
board Vice Chairman Lewis Stanley
described it at the recent dedication
ceremony.
That's why the board last Wed
nesday night thanked a three-mem
ber committee that recommended
John Sawyer Architects of Wilm
ington for the job, and said they
wanted to talk with the man them
selves before making a decision.
Sawyer, who opened his firm in
Wilmington in 1981, will be asked
to meet with trustees at the college
for an informal question-and-an
swer, get-acquainted session, an idea
suggested by Trustee Willie Full
wood.
The Building and Grounds Com
mittee also plans to go back and
check Sawyer's references more
thoroughly, talking with previous
employers.
Sawyer has done projects for New
Hanover Regional Medical Center,
Cape Fear Community College,
Dosher Memorial Hospital, New
Hanover County, and the Pender
County Public Library. He is the ar
chitect of the recently opened
Leland and Oak Island branches of
the Brunswick County Public
Library and is renovating the M.H.
Rourk and South port - Brunswick
branches in Shallotte and South port.
Eleven firms, none from within
Brunswick County, applied for the
job. Building and Grounds commit
tee members A1 Woolen, a retired
engineer, and Dean Walters, general
manager of Sea Trail Plantation, and
Ben De Blots, BCC vice president
for administration, interviewed six
firms within striking distance of
Brunswick County.
According to Public Information
Officer Anne Marie Bellamy, the
panel was looking for a company
that was committed to Brunswick
County, was familiar with N.C
Office of State Construction proce
dures, and had appropriate experi
ence and Sawyer met those criteria
best, though several other excellent
firms were among the six inter
viewed.
In another effort to make certain
this project advances more smoothly
than past projects, trustees will pur
sue Walters' suggestion of hiring a
construction project manager. In the
past employees who already had a
full-time job were given that added
responsibility.

BCC's Allied Health facility will
be built with proceeds from a
statewide bond issue. Since neigh
boring community colleges, includ
ing Southeastern in Whiteville and
Cape Fear in Wilmington, are also
starting bond issue-funded building
projects^ Walters plans to talk with
their administrators about the possi
bility of pooling funds to hire a
shared project overseer.
BCC has been using the William
son auditorium since last August,
but has not legally accepted occu
pancy because of construction de
lays and other problems. Several
subcontractors left the job and oth
ers sued the general contractor for
non-payment and placed liens
against the auditorium. The general
contractor was eventually removed
from the job and replaced, leaving a
tangle of legal obligations that are
being sorted out.
Work has begun on the final piece
of the project, a water line from U.S.
17 Business that wasn't in the origi
nal budget but is needed to provide
the pressure needed to operate an
overhead sprinkler system in the
stage area. Until the system is work
ing properly, BCC has an agreement
with Supply Volunteer Fire
Department to keep a truck on site
during all events at the auditorium.
In other business the board hired
Mary Norwood as library technical
assistant, and Chas Maloney and
Walter Kuhns as maintenance work
ers, each at a salary of $17,143.
Norwood was formerly employed
with the Brunswick Interagency
Program's supported employment
program, coaching the cafeteria
team.
Trustees told the Building and
Grounds committee to begin accept
ing bids for a sign for the U.S. 17
bypass entrance, but planned to
work out details of the sign later;
and authorized advertising a new
safety officer job. The person would
be responsible for daytime campus
security, for disposal of hazardous
waste, such as biomedical waste
from the allied health labs, and for
enforcing proposed parking and traf
fic regulations that will be consid
ered at the board's September meet
ing.
President W. Michael Reaves an
nounced state-funded pay raises for
full-time permanent employees. All
staff received 4 percent raises plus a
1 percent bonus, while faculty only
received an additional 254 percent
raise.
A benefits package for part-time
support personnel remains under
consideration by the board of
trustees, who last week asked for
still more details relating to what po
sitions would be covered and actual
cost. The package, which offer
sick/annual leave hours, N.C State
Employees Credit Union member
ship, and self-paying participation in
the college's health and hospitaliza
tion plans, is expected to cost the
college about $10,500.
