Construction is expected to begin at the end of next month or early June on a new addition at Fond du Lac’s Moraine Park Technical College.  Bids were opened Thursday for the $1.5 million project.  MPTC president Dr. Sheila Ruhland says the project will better define the entrance to the college.  "It has a prominent main entrance that when students come in, when community members come in, even when our wolf-pack walkers come to the campus to walk on a daily basis, they will walk into our student services-registration area,"  Dr. Ruhland told WFDL news.   "...a concierge approach, so you'll be able to come in and an individual staff person is there.  Its that one stop front entrance."  The Wisconsin Technical College System Board will vote on the addition at their May 6^th meeting and the MPTC District Board is expected to approve the project at their May 21^st meeting.  Dr. Ruhland says a groundbreaking ceremony is planned for June 2^nd:
