This new 19,000 SF skills center supports new advanced manufacturing and fabrication, construction trades, and aircraft maintenance programs at Columbia Gorge Community College's campus in The Dalles, OR. Along with a new student housing building, the additions comprise the college's largest expansion since 2008. The skills center provides design flexibility for the college's programs, including a design lab and construction lab with high-bay interior space, maker space, and classrooms. It will serve college students as well as high school students in grades 11-12. PCS worked closely with the project team to achieve major cost reconciliation necessary to complete the project on a tight budget.
