Raleigh, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/20/2012 -- Deborah Todd, president of STATE Contracting, Inc., has announced that the privately held firm, specializing in site development and roadway improvement, has completed multiple construction upgrades for Wake Technical Community College’s Health Sciences campus at 2901 Holsten St. off Sunnybrook Road, near WakeMed Hospital in Raleigh. For the community college’s satellite location, STATE provided road widening, upgrades to sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and entrance improvements. The project began in May 2011 and ended five months later. The contract for STATE’s work, awarded by Wake Tech, was approximately $100,000.

Wake Tech’s Health Sciences’ campus encompasses classrooms, computer labs, a bookstore, a library, an Individualized Learning Center, and a Student Services Center housing offices in admissions/advising, counseling, disability support services, student activities and more. The health sciences programs include dental assisting, dental hygiene, emergency medical services, human services technology, medical assisting, medical laboratory technology, nursing, pharmacy technology, phlebotomy, radiography, surgical technology and therapeutic massage.

QUOTES
“The Health Sciences campus is a popular destination for Wake Tech students thanks to its proximity to WakeMed, which makes it a challenge to handle commuters coming off New Bern Avenue who want to arrive and leave in a timely manner,” said Todd. “We were conscientious to address all these considerations for the project as well as respect and maintain the beauty and integrity of the area, and we achieved these goals for the college.”
