lendale College terminated its contract with Mallcraft Inc. April 20 for failure to meet deadlines, thereby temporarily halting construction on the Sierra Vista building. The Board of Trustees declared the immediate suspension of work at the construction site, using its right to call for default termination of the contractor for the project, Nelson Oliveira, director of facilities and construction, wrote in an email.
The decision came after the board was presented with the termination proposal compiled by Oliveira, Ron Nakasone, executive vice president of administrative services, and construction manager Karl Aldridge, who represents Cumming Construction Management, the college’s oversight contractor for the project. Mallcraft was asked to leave the project. “It got to the point where it didn’t look like we were going to make fall semester,” Nakasone said. “We talked to the board and
said we aren’t making a whole lot of progress; if we take it over and start doing the project on our own we have a better chance of making fall.” Mallcraft began working on the $49-million building in 2014, and had an original completion date of December 2015. The college and Mallcraft committted to an agreement, which established a penalty of from $2,500 to per day to $6,500 per day for additional days after March 31.

It also includes original improvisational music by Paul Sherman, played in the beginning and throughout, providing sound effects. an added collaboration with GCC’s music department. The strings are played as the dancers surround a mysterious egg-shaped object. Already, they captivate the audience with the spontaneous form of dance and emotion each performer carries with them. They are dressed in black, some covering their faces. As the light darkens in the room, the environment of the play being in space is genuinely felt. One by one, they speak about love, life and religion, leaving an introduction of what the play will include. The foundation of the play surrounds the mystery and questions of life. What are we made out of? What connects us? And how did we get here? These were all answered with a humorous and indepth response from the characters of past physicists such as Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and Galileo Galilei. Each physicists has a different answer, and perspective on how life appeared to be, creating a unique outlook.
