Building Summary
The Monroe Center houses offices, classrooms, and labs for
Construction and Building Trades, Health Care and Wellness,
and the Hospitality, Culinary, & Tourism Institute, including a
commercial kitchen and demonstration restaurant.
The building exterior is in fair condition and is owned by the
business condo association. The interior is beyond its useful
life and no longer meets programmatic changes. A full interior
renovation with some exterior updates began in fall of 2016.
