Seward County Community College
Seward County Community College is ready to expand operations to its newly renovated West Campus site at 712 N. Western Ave. The college invites the public to attend a ribbon-cutting at 5:30 p.m. Monday, April 14.
“We are so excited to move into the new space,” said Vice President of Career & Technical Education Dr. Amber Jones. “Truck driving / CDL will be the first program, and we will gradually add diesel technology.”
College President Brad Bennett said the transformation of a former retail space into classrooms and labs is gratifying.
“Three years ago, we decided to expand our truck-driving program with a plan for a completely new building. Then one day we realized we could save the taxpayers a lot of money and improve our community by repurposing this location,” he said. “We’ve done it with grant funding. It’s a huge win for SCCC and for our community.”
SCCC will serve burgers at the ribbon cutting, and the public can tour the facility.
“We have a lot of space here, and the options for more programs and collaboration are great,” Bennett said. “We’re just very excited about the future.”
