Below are excerpted comments from both events and some photos:
We had a number of funding partners to make this project possible. The State of Wyoming invested approximately $9 million. This is the first time we've received state resources for a construction project at Northwest College and we are thankful to the Wyoming Legislature.
The college’s trustees courageously tapped into reserves to put forth $2 million. Our students were also part of the equation with the addition of a $5 per credit hour fee.
The NWC Foundation raised over $900,000 in private funds. I'm deeply grateful to the NWC Foundation and our donors for their tremendous support of students and the enhancement of academics at Northwest College.
I appreciate the time, energy and generosity of our construction partners, the State Construction Division, Sletten Construction, and CTA Architects. As well I am thankful for NWC employees who worked tirelessly on this project (you know who you are).
The building’s importance to the college, its programs, faculty and students cannot be overstated.
