come up with anything. ,
Instead, he joined the group of
wbachers that visited Winchester,
Va. in 1994 and got a lot of ideas.
As a result, a welding area in the
mechanics lab was designed with
booths. "That was not something
we had seen anywhere before,”
said Henry.
At Solanco, block walls sepa
rate 10 separate welding booths.
There are eight gas welding
areas and space for electrical weld
ing. In fact, the entire ag mechan
ics laboratory was designed with
the needs of particular areas in
mind.

Construction was completed in
November last year. The ag sci

the new building on Nov. 4.
Included in the construction is
an ag biology classroom, an ag
mechanics classroom, an ag
mechanics lab, and office space.
The unique feature is that, from
the ag office, windows overlook
the laboratory. The welding booths
are in plain view from both the
office and the classroom.
