"What really drew me to the College was the fact that I knew I would get a lot of ‘real world’ experience. My hands-on experience was invaluable. MCLA supports its students, doing what it takes to get them into new experiences that will later prove to be stepping stones into a career."

This door, found in the basement is the last original door left in the building. The brick archway, now filled in, was originally a bay for one for the campus boilers used for heat.

The basement does have several remaining open archways along the east side of the building. This entire area will be used for building mechanical devices.

All of these pictures show the hole soon to be filled with the new elevator. One picture shows the new landing outside of the elevator and various views of the shaft.

This area is located on the lower level north side and will be the new home for vending machines in the building.
