McCown Cottage undergoes construction for financial aid process

Reconstruction of the McCown Cottage is scheduled to start soon with improvements that will accommodate the new student financial service in order to better serve students by increasing space.


“Many students have complained about having to skip from one building to the other during their financial aid process, and this will hopefully eliminate all of that,” said Joe Whitaker, vice president of business and finance.


Reconstruction should start to take place in the next couple of weeks and will last about three to four months. The addition onto the building will be a two-story add-on, extending out toward the parking lot with four large office areas. The downstairs will be renovated to provide a better arrangement of office facilities and staff.


Whitaker said total cost has not yet been determined, but a rough estimate is from $65,000 to $75,000 for the new addition.
