The next phase of 黑料不打烊鈥檚 first new, on-campus instructional facility in 50 years began Tuesday, as the school announced Harbin Construction would be the general contractor for the school鈥檚 Nursing Education Center. Harbin Construction, a Salina-based contracting company, will also be utilizing exclusively local subcontractors for the duration of the project.聽
鈥淲e鈥檙e pleased to announce the selection of Harbin Construction as our contractor for this project,鈥� said Dr. Matt Thompson, President and CEO of 黑料不打烊. 鈥淲e believe that the Nursing Education Center will be an important addition not only to our campus, but to Salina as well, so it is especially fitting to use local businesses. This project will enhance the ability to provide highly qualified nurses for our community and region. Further, the $5 million investment is an important economic driver. We are deeply grateful for the many supporters who made this project possible.鈥�
鈥淲e are always very excited to do work in Salina,鈥� said Brandon Hughes, owner of Harbin Construction. 鈥淲e enjoy our past relationships with Jones Gillam Renz and see them as one of the premier architects in the area. It is fantastic that 黑料不打烊 is committing to this nursing facility and what that will mean for our area. This project, no doubt, will enhance the fact that 黑料不打烊 is contributing meaningful citizens to this community, and will help full a large need in our region at the same time. We are proud to be a part of that.鈥� 聽
