The community college where I live has a two year program but there is also a bachelor's degree at the state university. It depends on whether you intend on doing small scale jobs like residential and small retail or if you plan on large scale projects like parks and large commercial.
Ok, so where I work, the building is an old school house, and my boss owns the building, and I was trying to come up with suggestions for this problem...
There were originally four sets of large cement stairs, a set at either end and two close together in the middle, at one point the building was turned into a church and they closed off one of the doors in the middle section, as it wasnt necessary, bricked up pretty well, you wouldnt know there was a door there, except for the stairs remain outside and to remove them would sort of unbalance the symmetry that it has... in keeping with the school house theme/restoration what is something large maybe somehow utilizing the stairs if possible or if not thats fine, that could balance out the exterior? anything that an old school house might have had?
there is a bell tower on the building she is restoring so a bell suggestion wont work
The doors are seperate from each other, each has its own set of stairs, I would say maybe 5 ft between the two doors/sets of stairs

The Department says the managing contractor is responsible for working with principals to develop solutions that “reflects the school’s wishes, is affordable within the school’s funding allocation and meets the BER guidelines.” “It’s encouraging to see that our internal processes are improving as we progress. Both the BER Program Office and the managing contractors are constantly looking for ways to be more efficient in our delivery of the program by reviewing our processes, helping...
