NEW BERN, NC — Craven Early College High School was slated to begin classes August 5, but the Mary Dale Bender Building was closed in late July after asbestos was found in the old floor tile and in the ceiling during renovations, according to the Sun Journal.
According to the story, The Craven Early College is a five-year program located on the Craven Community College campus that gives high school students the opportunity to graduate with a high school diploma and an associate’s degree or transferable college credits.
The asbestos remediation cost more than $150,000, a price tag added to the $74,200 in building renovations, the story stated.
Students were moved to other classrooms while the project, which took longer than expected because crews decided to remove tiles in additional classrooms, was completed, the story noted.
Craven Early College offered physical examinations for concerned employees who continued working in the building during the asbestos removal, but only one took them up on the offer, the story added.
