COLUMBUS, Ind. — Three months into Ivy Tech Community College – Columbus’ new campus building project, the structure is starting to take shape.

Chancellor Steven Combs, trustees and other personnel visited the construction site, with Pepper Construction giving updates on the work following a campus board meeting on Tuesday.

Project Manager Jase Harmon said that workers are about halfway or more through the structural steel phase.

“We are running a little behind,” he said. “The market is crazy right now.”

However, the construction is only a week behind schedule at the moment.
