Departments make moves

With every autumn comes change, but NIC should see even more change than normal with a few programs being moved to new locations.

The program moves can be expected to focus on Siebert and Hedlund buildings, as well as McLain Hall.

The Hedlund will have the most change this fall, with several programs moving in and out. One move will be the Graphic Design program, which will find its new home in Post Falls’ Kaniksu Building across the street from the Workforce Training Center.

Also planning to move to the Kaniksu Building is the Peace Officers Standards and Training Academy (POST).

POST is aiming to move out of Hedlund the beginning of next year following approval from the Department of Education and the Northwest Commission of Colleges and Universities.

POST will switch off-campus status with the NIC Adult Basic Education Center, which will move from its location downtown to POST’s former spot as soon as it relocates.

The space the Graphic Design program leaves empty will actually fall to two different programs. The Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (IBEST) and the Resort/Recreation Management program will share the space by occupying it at different scheduled times.

The last move in Hedlund is an in-house move that will switch Computer Information Technology from the west wing to room 224, and Computer Aided Design Technology will move to the unoccupied space in the west wing.

McLain will trade out the Physical Plant Shop that is moving to the Headwaters Complex F for Outdoors Pursuits, which has already moved to its new space. It will also lose the Help Desk and Technology Implemation services to the Siebert building.

In addition to filling the space left in Siebert left by the Center for New Directions move, this will allow the programs to be situated closer to other similar services in the building.
