The community college broke ground today on the new structure, which is meant to address health-care workforce needs in Northern Colorado. The building at 4616 S. Shields St. will serve as a centralized, technology-rich learning environment for all of the college’s health and nursing programs, the college said in a statement.

In addition to housing the college’s existing programs and providing space for expanding labs, it will permit addition of new programming.

Front Range Community College offers 15 degrees and certificate programs focused on a variety of disciplines in the health and wellness field. FRCC currently offers the only nursing program in Larimer County. FRCC will begin to offer a new bachelor of science in nursing degree this fall.
