LEWISTON — Lewiston Adult Education’s main office has moved from Lewiston High School to a temporary one at 145 Birch St., the Longley Multipurpose Center because of construction of the new addition at Lewiston High School.
The change in location will place the main office temporarily with the Adult Learning Center in the Longley Multipurpose Center.
“This will be the first time in LAE history all our staff and programming will be in one location,” Jen Tiner, assistant director, said.
Director Bill Grant added, “While temporary, this gives us a great opportunity to have all our staff connect daily in person.”
The high school construction project began in September and is scheduled to finish in September 2021. The addition will have space for music and art classes along with the new entrance.
“We look forward to sharing the new space with our adult community for continuing education programming,” Grant said.
The Lewiston Adult Education move to the Adult Learning Center began on Monday, Nov. 30. Phone numbers and email addresses will remain the same.
While most of Lewiston Adult Education’s winter-spring 2021 classes will be online to keep students safe from COVID-19, classes at the Adult Learning Center will have mask and distancing requirements in place. Many residents of Lewiston also refer to the building as the Multi-Purpose Center.
The entrance to the Adult Learning Center is on the left-hand side of Longley. Adult Learning Center staff will continue with language and high school equivalency classes as fellow Lewiston Adult Education employees work from their temporary office spaces.
