By Bob Neubauer

In 1994, the in-plant moved into a new facility, which Hoekema helped design. Joining the other equipment there was a new Xerox DocuTech 90. Not long after that, the cameras were replaced by scanners and imagesetters.

Hoekema was always on the lookout for new services to offer, so when the college’s sign painter retired, “we assumed the sign duties, purchased a vinyl cutter and started making signs,” he says. This led to a class on vinyl cutting.
