We are excited to announce artist Bri Murphy, our instructor Jim Pytel and Dean Dylan McManus have been working diligently this week to get the Flex Lab attached to the CGCC Skill Center up and running with all of the technology acquired through the continued support from local private partners.  

The opening of the CGCC Skill Center will see students, faculty, and eventually community members having access to one of the more technologically advanced rapid prototype facilities on community college campuses throughout our region.  As technology evolves, it has become more user-friendly and we are amazed at the difference in accessibility between the machines we are installing this week, compared to those of ten years ago.  This lab will dramatically increase our community’s ability to compete in the 21st Century Economy.  With the tools accessible through the Skill Center Flex Lab, our students will be able to learn the skills necessary to create innovative solutions to real-world industry problems in fields such as agriculture, drone manufacturing, architecture, and building trades, robotics, and many others.
