Gov. M. Jodi Rell said Monday Manchester Community College is on deck to receive $913,735 for safety and parking improvements when the State Bond Commission meets July 13.
The funds will be put toward the design of a new fire alarm system at the Lowe Building and for the design of parking lot repairs. The parking lot will receive a total overhaul, with its existing 685 spaces renovated and 225 new spaces created.
Improvements will also be made to area landscaping, drainage and lighting.
The college is also home to Great Path Academy, an interdistrict middle college and high school for more for students in grades 10-12. Opened in 2009, the $32 million academy was the first public high school to be built on a Connecticut college campus.
