Garry Coomer heads ribbon cutting for LWC Physical Plant Operations Building Mr. Coomer wields the big scissors to officially open the new building. Adair Countian whose career at the college now spans almost 39 years shares spotlight with President Bill Luckey, Chancellor John B. Begley, and Director of Plant Operations Mike Newton. Roster of Physical Plant Department's 44 employees is included with story. Several photos are being posted with full story. By Duane Bonifer, LWC Director of Public Affairs COLUMBIA, KY - After working at Lindsey Wilson College for almost 40 years, Garry Coomer has a new office. Coomer, who has worked in the LWC Physical Plant Operations since April 1971, cut the ribbon Thursday morning, October 8, 2009, and and helped dedicate the college's newest building, a 6,000-square-foot physical plant building. College administrators, faculty, and some students and fellow townsmen stood, almost 100 strong under umbrellas in the parking lot of the new facilty for the event. Members of Lindsey Wilson's board of Trustees, in session this week at the school, were bussed to the occasion in one of the schools new Prevost coaches. Located at 301 Bryant Street Located at 301 Bryant Street on the southern edge of the A.P. White Campus, the building was constructed in just 58 working days, mostly by the college's plant employees. The Physical Plant's former building on Williams ST, which it has occupied since 1988, is now the home of the college's marching-band program. "I want to express profound appreciation for the people who will be occupying this facility," Lindsey Wilson President William T. Luckey Jr. said at an outdoor ceremony punctuated by a solid rain. LWC's plant personnel, which include maintenance and housekeeping, maintain almost 500,000 square feet of floor space, scattered over a 200-acre campus. Luckey said that because of the individuals who compose the college's physical plant, Lindsey Wilson has not been forced to join the growing numbers of colleges and universities who have outsourced their plant work."Most colleges and universities are contracting out their bookstore, they're contracting out their food service and their housekeeping and their maintenance," Luckey said. "But then other colleges," he said, "don't have this staff." Director of Physical Plant Operations Mike Newton said the new building will allow plant to carry out the college's mission. "Our pledge to the administration and trustees is that we hope to be an integral part of the growth here, and we also want to use this facility to continue the fulfillment of the mission," Newton said. As LWC Chancellor John B. Begley noted in his remarks, the college's plant employees play a vital role in carrying out the college's mission."They deserve to be blessed for the pride they take in their work as they clean and maintain our building and as they care for our campus grounds," Begley said. "They deserve to be blessed for their kind and gentle spirit and the way they carry out our mission of helping every student, every day, learn and grow and made to feel like a real human being."
