“It’s exciting to see this building taking shape, knowing all the hands-on learning opportunities it will afford our students,” said Dr. Robert R. Jones, Interim Campus President. “This building will have the latest technology so our students get as close to real world, hands-on experience as possible. This means they are even better prepared to enter to workforce.”
