Enhancing spaces and places that inspire 21st century teaching and learning.

It is essential for students to study and train in world-class educational settings that reflect the workplace environment. New facilities with the latest technology enhance our students learning experience and inspire their success.

LIBRARY AND LEARNING COMMONS

Located on the College's Main Campus in the Mint Building, the redesigned Library and Learning Commons opened in 2021.

The Learning Commons includes readily available support services, multimedia and other technology rooms, several multiuse spaces for individual and small group study, a study lounge with a cafeĢ, as well as a collaborative makerspace where students and faculty can gather to develop creative projects using a variety of tools and materials. In the bright and welcoming facility, students can access over 180 databases and over 40,500 books, journals, magazines and newspapers, as well as course reserve materials. 

The Library and Learning Commons enhances the student academic support experience by integrating the services of the Library, Learning Labs, and Student Academic Computing into one location that offers quiet study, collaboration, creativity, and the latest technology.

CAREER AND ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY CENTER

Opened in 2022, the Career and Advanced Technology Center began with the idea of a space where the diverse communities of the city are welcome to participate in solving solutions collaboratively. The goal is to bring career training and community building to the forefront of the neighborhoods through state-of-the-art facilities, support for local entrepreneurship, and hands-on learning experiences for fields that are in demand. The site was created to be a destination location for specific programs.

The course offerings at the Career and Advanced Technology Center focus on career readiness and creating a thriving workforce in our city with short- term certificate programs in the Advanced Manufacturing, Health Care, and Transportation Technology fields, as well as associate degree programs that will help students meet the ever-changing needs of these industries. Learn more about the Center's programs. The Center also includes spaces and technology that are completely open for public use.
