With recent project approvals from ThedaCare system leadership, the project architect has begun developing a site plan that outlines the locations of the current ThedaCare Physicians-Shawano clinic, the location and footprint of the new hospital, roads and parking. This site plan will be released to the public later this month. ThedaCare and Shawano Medical Center affiliated in 2011 and building a replacement for the aging hospital was included as part of the agreement. The Boldt Co. of Appleton was named general contractor and construction manager. HGA Architects and Engineers of Milwaukee is the project architect. The cost of the entire project will not exceed $50 million. Groundbreaking for the new medical center is expected in late June with a grand opening slated for the fall of 2014. �� The Northwoods Florence, Marinette, Menominee, Oconto Counties NWTC, school districts win training award A partnership between Northeast Wisconsin Technical College and three area school districts received a statewide award to improve educational and career offerings in smaller communities. The Northwood Regional Learning Collaborative Partnership is a cooperative effort among the school districts of Crivitz, Beecher-DunbarPembine and Wausaukee, and NWTC���s Central Regional Learning Center in Crivitz to provide dual credit opportunities to students at the three high schools. By using flexible scheduling and cooperation among the institutions, high school juniors and seniors have access to technical college classes in welding, nursing, automotive and engineering. The collaboration made it possible to offer advanced coursework in individual high schools, something that would not have occurred otherwise due to a lack of student numbers and funding. Classes are taught in Wausaukee with NWTC equipment and staff members. Students are certified and careerready upon high school graduation, moving into technical skill jobs in their local communities.
