Students Build Twin Structures for Sullivan BOCES
More than 50 students in Sullivan County BOCES carpentry electrical and conservation classes will complete a pair of student built buildings at the Liberty workshops. The town house like structure will house special education classes for about 20 handicapped students and the second building will house administrative offices. Total cost to BOCES is 44000, about half the private contractor price. The project, begun in April 1972, follows a first building completed in September and uses space on the BOCES site near Loomis. Completion of the new school is planned for September 1975 and the student built structures may be disassembled and sold if not needed.
