Campus Childcare Update - News from Task Force Meeting
On September 24th, the Childcare Task Force met and we received some updates about the timeline for the childcare center on campus. I asked if I could share these updates via the myUMBC group and was given the go ahead to help spread the word.

Status of Facility Restoration
Rusty Postlewate provided the following update:
The design of the renovations have started and are under review. A copy of the initial design is attached to this new announcement.
Final design will take place sometime next week.
The bid process for contractors will begin in mid-November and construction should begin in early spring.
The target for construction completion will be June 2015 with an opening of the facility ready to go for the Fall 2015 semester.
Construction will fix the exterior of the building with a hopeful add on of screened-in mud rooms. The interior of the building will remain the same.
When the building re-opens care will still be provided by the YMCA and will be for the same ages of children as before (children must be 2 years old to be enrolled).
As more details come together related to wait lists, costs, next steps and more, I'll be sure to keep passing the information along to you.
