OSU Marion and the Marion Technical College (MTC) share the Marion campus. Both institutions have new buildings planned for construction. OSU Marion is beginning the fundraising phase for a green science building. MTC is planning to break ground on their nursing building towards the end of August. In preparation for construction to begin, the contractors have installed chain link fencing around the site. It just so happens that the new buildling will be next to the prairie, which means the fencing runs right along our border.
Don’t be afraid- the prairie will remain open during construction! The fencing should also help us out by ensuring equipment doesn’t get parked in our plantings. Below you can see a few pictures of the fencing from earlier today.
