Friday the 13th proved to be a terrific day at Clark College as the college held a celebration to mark the grand reopening of the newly-remodeled Gaiser Hall.
Guests -- including Amanda Dotson, representing Rep. Brian Baird, faculty emeritus Antonio Scarpelli and his wife Arlene, and former Clark administrator Bob Moser -- enjoyed refreshments and tour of the facility, which is now the one-stop hub for student services at the college. The $10 million renovation project began in December 2006.

LSW Architects plans to verify that the project meets the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver certification. LEED certification verifies that a building project meets the highest green building and performance measures and that the building is environmentally responsible and a healthy place to live and/or work.
Gaiser Hall is named for Dr. Paul F. Gaiser, who served as president of Clark College from 1941-1958.
