Specific areas of focus include:
Biotechnology Training Center - nearly 10,000 sqft building dedicated to developing a skilled workforce supporting the biomanufacturing sector. Resources include analytical and fermentation labs, cleanroom, environmental monitoring, and fill/finish learning environments.
CDL - a 2,700 sq ft building providing classroom and office space as well as a driving range to ensure a talent pipeline of qualified commercial drivers with a focus on safety and skills.
Advanced Manufacturing - approximately 180,000 sq ft facility intentionally designed to support solutions serving the manufacturing community and their workforce needs:
- Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration - Area for training in system design, installation, and service of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
- Computer Integrated Machining - Area for training in basic and advanced machining operations, computer aided drafting, computer aided machining, computerized numerical control equipment and high speed multi-axis machining.
- Engineering Technologies and Industrial Systems - Areas for training in automation, solid-state fundamentals, digital concepts, microprocessors and industrial systems including PLCs (programmable logic controllers), hydraulics, pneumatics, industrial electricity, electrical systems, motors, control systems, rapid prototyping, etc.
- Industry 4.0 - Operated as a partnership environment, this space will provide collaborative learning spaces for community college students in either Engineering or Industrial Technologies to work on project-based learning experiences involving real-world industry processes and problem solving related to smart manufacturing.
- Soft Landing Space - An incubator space, designed to allow entrepreneurs to nurture and develop their ideas until they are ready to move into their own space.
- Robotics - A flexible demonstration area, designed to highlight the latest advances in manufacturing technology, local career paths, and ongoing projects of interest.
- Welding - Separated from the other training areas to accommodate safety shielding, the Welding area will provide space for training in MIG, TIG, stick, plasma arc, Oxyfuel, carbon arc and robotic welding, and will include a flex space for short-term, on-demand customized welding training.
The Moore Center is set to advance the community college's legacy of crafting specialized programs aimed at promptly meeting the ever-changing demands of industry workforces.
