CAMS is envisioned as a one-stop manufacturing technology center that will train students on the latest machine tools, equipment and software. The building’s design provides corporate partners with access to offices and conference space adjacent to faculty offices, student classrooms and labs. Facilities will be available for corporate demonstration purposes, shared training activities, meetings and events that connect the college to its workforce partners more than ever before.
