Community Use of College Facilities

From small meetings to large events, the college is able to provide secure facilities that offer state-of-the-art technology.

An essential piece of the college’s mission is our commitment to strengthen the “educational, economic and cultural life” of our community. To support this mission, the college  offers its facilities to outside groups for nominal rates.
