FRCC manufacturing center to open Aug. 1

LONGMONT — Front Range Community College’s new Center for Integrated Manufacturing in Longmont is set to open Aug. 1.

The 27,000 square-foot facility, which broke ground in January in partnership with Advanced Energy, brings all FRCC’s manufacturing programs under a single roof at 1351 S. Sunset St.

The center will be home to FRCC’s existing precision machining technology program, the optics technology program, and two new programs: automation technology and electronics technology.

Ways to thank a caregiver

If you have a caregiver or know someone who has been serving as a primary caregiver, March 3rd is the day to reach out and show them how much they are valued!

“Advanced manufacturing is booming in Colorado but many local companies can’t find enough workers with the right skills and training to fill these well-paying jobs,” FRCC president Andy Dorsey said in a prepared statement. “By educating people in our community, we can help local companies meet their critical need for employees, and provide students strong career opportunities.”

A public ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house are set for 2:30 p.m. Aug 1.
