COLUMBUS, Ind. — Ivy Tech Community College – Columbus’ new campus headquarters is up and running, though there are still some details to be worked through.

The campus board of trustees had its first meeting in Moravec Hall, which has replaced Poling Hall as the main campus building for Ivy Tech Community College Columbus. However, rather than meeting in the new boardroom, college officials gathered in a dental classroom for the session.

The boardroom’s table has not arrived yet, explained Chancellor Steve Combs. It’s supposed to be in by the end of July.

“We are behind on a lot of logistics things, mainly in the microprocessor room, as you can imagine,” said Combs. “Still some furniture. We do have the big Iwamoto design light going into the community, the commons area, so we’ll see that all of the tables are moved out for that. So (it is) still very much an active worksite.”

Ivy Tech began holding a select number of classes in the new building in late May. Demolition of the previous campus building, Poling Hall, is continuing.
